Membership Categories  

WIM offers membership in seven career categories. This creates an organization that spans a wide range of women managers to provide a broad spectrum of information, expertise and mentorship opportunities.

Academia: Management work within a formal academic environment such as primary, secondary or higher education. Recognizing there is a difference between owning a private school and working and teaching within private/public education systems, those involved in the former should consider applying under another category.

Corporate: Management work within a for-profit company of any size.

Entrepreneur: Product Owners/managers of businesses whose primary function is to market a tangible product to the public.

Entrepreneur Service: Owner/managers of businesses whose primary function is to provide service or non-tangibles to the public.

Government: Management work within government at the local, county, state or federal level.

Licensed Professional: The chosen career requires licensing and/or certification in order to serve in the profession. Generally a continued course of testing and certification will show increased expertise, specialization and ability in one's profession.
