Solidifying Our Place in Homeland Security with Three Pillars.

  • WE NETWORK

    Building a bridge to connect women working in homeland security is an important step in reconstructing the workforce. Here, women are supported, encouraged and inspired to reach for the next level in their careers.

  • WE LEARN

    Looking for a collaborative environment for women, advocates, and allies to learn about the discipline and share best practices? You’re in the right place. Our members provide their expertise in the mitigation, prevention, protection, response, and recovery to any type of incident.

  • WE GIVE BACK

    Uplifting our current members and inspiring the future is a key component in our mission. Each CA-WHS event is linked to a philanthropic cause to further our mission.

The cold, hard truth about our industry is…

We’re wildly underrepresented in this arena, but we believe we can change that. This is our why. When we create a safe space for women working in homeland security, we can simultaneously rebuild a more diverse workforce.
