Mission

Women in Aerospace (WIA) is dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion, and increasing the leadership capabilities and visibility of women in the aerospace community. Our membership – comprised of all genders – shares an interest in a broad spectrum of aerospace issues, including human space flight, aviation, remote sensing, satellite communications, robotic space exploration, and policy issues surrounding these fields.

WIA organizes events in Washington, D.C., at aerospace conferences and meetings around the world, via web and teleconference for both personal and professional development. Our member programming includes signature events with key leaders from the industry, government, and academia. These individuals are gathered to address and discuss relevant issues to the aerospace community.

Featured speakers include senior representatives of the administration, Congress, industry, scientists, educators and international aerospace experts. To learn more about our upcoming events, please click on the Events section.

Networking is one of the many significant benefits of joining Women in Aerospace. Comprised of individuals from an array of disciplines and technical experiences, WIA members are given a number of opportunities to meet equally driven colleagues at events held throughout the year.
