Women in Defense as an organization was founded in 1979.

The San Diego Chapter was started in 2005 to enable members of the San Diego Defense community to participate in this unique organization.

In addition to the goals of WID in general, the San Diego Chapter has developed the following aims:

• To provide an environment where members of Defense and the Defense industry can network, thus enabling them to make valuable contacts that will enhance their career and provide many and varied opportunities
• To develop a mentorship program where respected leaders of our community will provide you with advice, training, networking, and career development
• To participate within the community here in San Diego by providing volunteer services to service families and other organizations

An additional benefit of joining WID is that you automatically become a member of the National Defense Industry Association (NDIA).
