Women in Homeland Security

Welcome

Women in Homeland Security is a networking and professional development organization designed to help women working in the field of homeland security learn, excel and succeed.  Through informal happy hours, luncheons, book clubs and organized tours, women blazing the trails in the new discipline of "homeland security" will have the opportunity to meet inspiring, innovative, brave women working to assure our nation is safe and secure from another attack.

Events and activities are planned to enrich our members' understanding of homeland security, terrorism, al qaeda, Islam and the role and treatment of women in each.

We invite you to join our mailing list, join us on linkedin, facebook or twitter and engage in this exciting organization.
