Women in Defense

To cultivate and support the advancement and recognition of women in all aspects of national security.

To provide our members a formal environment for professional growth through networking, education, and career development.

The Women In Defense Space Coast Chapter (WIDSC) was founded January 21, 2013. Since then, we have grown substantially thanks to our members and community partners who have made a commitment to supporting this high-impact organization.

WIDSC provides networking and professional development opportunities to promote the role of women in national defense and security, to support military service members, and to encourage partnerships within the local contractor community, defense industry and military personnel.

The Space Coast is a gateway to the wonders of science and unending possibilities. We are home to industry leaders with significant operations. Our military presence includes Patrick Space Force Base, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and the Naval Ordnance Test Unit (NOTU) as well as many private companies, such as SpaceX.

Our diverse economy is comprised of private space and defense companies with lucrative government contracts. We excel in intelligence, surveillance, aircraft, reconnaissance, missiles and launch assets. We also provide combat capabilities through launch, range and expeditionary operations.

We are considered the world’s premier gateway to space and we have seen great growth in the space and defense economy. Our production includes vehicle, satellite, missile and aircraft manufacturing. We also test missiles and assemble and launch vehicles.

The Space Coast is booming thanks to space and defense companies that offer high-paying tech jobs, a rich supply chain and talent pool that are key drivers in our industry businesses.

Since starting the Space Coast STEM Scholarship Fund, WIDSC has awarded more than $90,000 in scholarships to women in the community who have pursued studies to advance their careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
