OUR VISION

To be the premier organisation for Women in Information and Communication

OUR MISSION

A Canberra based non profit organisation bringing people together to champion Women in Information and Communication

Association Aims

WIC’s mission as a Canberra based, non-profit organisation is to “bring people together to champion women in Information and Communication” In order to meet this mission, the organisation has 5 strategies targeted towards those who support women in this industry. They include:

  • To provide events where women in the information and communication industry can network for mutual benefit
  • To inspire women in this industry to take their careers to new heights
  • To publicly recognise and promote the talents and contributions of WIC members
  • To provide a range of activities to increase the participation of women in the information and communications industries
  • To have fun! One of the most valuable aims of WIC is to ensure that members, interested associates, supporters, and participants have fun. This has been and will continue to be, a focus in all WIC events and activities.

WIC COMMITTEE

The WIC Committee member’s participation and involvement are on a voluntary basis. The success of WIC has been due to the commitment and efforts of women and men who have found WIC’s aims so valuable and are working towards a future where the information and communication industries are well represented by women.
