Women in International Security (WIIS) is a nongovernmental global membership organization established in 1987 and dedicated to advancing the leadership and professional development of women working in the foreign policy and international security fields. To commemorate its thirtieth anniversary and recognize its recent establishment as a fully independent nonprofit organization, WIIS will launch a major international initiative focused on what it considers two of the most important challenges of the time: the full participation of women in the international peace and security arena and the promotion of gender equality. As part of the initiative, WIIS will rebrand and relaunch its professional development Summer Symposium series and reframe the discussion of security issues via a research and book project.
