Women in Wireless Mission
To empower and develop female leaders in
mobile and digital media.
We do this through leadership development, mentoring,
inspirational series of panels and webinars, job boards,
philanthropic support for relevant charities and networking events.
Women in Wireless was created by a small group of female business leaders who consistently found themselves sharing ideas & strategies amongst a sea of men at tech conferences.
They started to formalize their efforts in 2009 by forming committee called Women in Wireless within the Mobile Marketing Association, which would both support and develop female leaders in the mobile industry.
The group attracted such a large membership base that it decided to form a non-profit corporation in 2011.
Today the group has about 2000 members, consisting of entrepreneurs, senior executives, and those in junior levels that seek our support.
