Alliances

Part of an organization’s success is the development of strategic alliances to offer supplementary services and resources to members. WomSA has developed several successful alliances with influential organizations within the business, technology and not-for-profit spectrums.

Forming an alliance relationship with WomSA provides your eligible clients with cybersecurity mentorship, career pathing and networking. The partnership allows you to focus on core-competencies while increasing overall value to your target audience. WomSA alliance partners will also increase their brand awareness within our membership, volunteer and sponsor databases. A larger audience not only influences your market size but also supports a strong commitment to the cyber community.
