If you have a passion for issues impacting WMA you can make a difference!
In the early 1990s, WMA members were front and center in the fight to repeal the combat exclusion law that prevented women from flying combat aircraft and taking command of combat units. Our members continue to come together to impact important issues that face women military aviators — past, present and future.
- Advocacy for women in military aviation
- A history of influencing policy and breaking barriers
- Ongoing efforts to address current and future challenges
- Member-driven initiatives that shape WMA’s mission
Strengthen
WMA members develop leadership skills and experience through volunteering.
WMA is an all-volunteer organization. By sharing their time and talents, WMA members polish skills that serve them as they pursue military and civilian careers while supporting women pilots, navigators, and aircrew in the service of our country during times of war and peace.
- Leadership through volunteer service
- Skill-building across military and civilian roles
- Opportunities to lead projects and support organizational efforts
- A platform to grow while giving back
Empower
From those considering military service to after separation, we can help.
Our members have been there (done that) and are eager to provide support and information to those coming behind them. Students are offered a free annual membership and are encouraged to reach out for information and advice. Through mutual support and networking, we lift our sisters up at every stage of their careers.
- Guidance for every career stage, from enlistment to retirement
- Peer mentoring from experienced women aviators
- Free student memberships and outreach opportunities
- A supportive network committed to lifting each other up
