Mission: We foster a community that encourages women to explore opportunities and build successful careers that allow them to actively participate in the growing technology sector.
We achieve our mission by establishing a strong network of national volunteers who design, develop, and deliver monthly programs to members and the community at-large. These programs are supported by a national volunteer board and the corporate sponsors who partner with us.
Vision: To become known as the pre-eminent, non-profit Canadian society and advocate group for women seeking education, networking and mentoring opportunities in the broadly defined technology sector.
With chapters in Vancouver and Toronto, Wired Woman has hundreds of members across the country.
Society Profile and History: Incorporated in 1996, Wired Woman (WW) is a Canadian, registered non-profit society. The society mission is to create an open, nurturing, integrity-based environment that encourages women to explore opportunities in technology, science and new media and to build successful careers that will allow them to become a driving force in these growing sectors. Programs and activities support the three core goals of the society: networking, education and mentoring.
Originally launched in Vancouver, B.C. by Emma Payne and a group of like-minded visionary women, the society now has chapters across Canada. The society is completely volunteer-run with chapter presidents leading activities in Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver.
