To maximize its outreach, WIIS encourages the creation of U.S. Chapters and International Affiliates. Chapters and Affiliates enhance WIIS’s efforts to advance the leadership and professional development of women in the field of international security. WIIS Chapters and Affiliates operate independently but in close contact with WIIS Global. Currently, WIIS has a network of nine U.S. Chapters and 25 International Affiliates.

Additionally, WIIS Italy will occasionally host a conversation with various special guests and experts to share their experiences. These informal gatherings allow women to gather and build professional relationships in a casual setting, and now, more than ever, in a remote environment so women from around the world can participate in these conversations. |
