For those who may not know, the Women in Defence Association is doing incredible work to promote gender equity and inclusion across the sector. They’re running mentorship programs, advocacy initiatives, national networking events, and shining a spotlight on women-led businesses and achievements in the space. 💪
Membership is open to anyone passionate about advancing gender equity — whether you’re in the industry, defence-adjacent, just starting out, or part of a defence family.
