Women’s Leadership Council (WLC)

We are an informal group of women leaders who have been members of SCIP for more than 5 years and have been involved with one or more of the following:

• served on the Board of Directors
• presented at 2 or more SCIP conferences
• contributed to SCIP scholarship through publication of articles or books
• served as Chapter Coordinator 
• received a Catalyst or Meritorious award or been elected to SCIP Fellows

Purpose of the WLC: To provide women with leadership opportunities and personal and professional development, and to encourage their long-term commitment to SCIP and to the profession of competitive intelligence (CI).

Mission: Build and support personal relationships and networks.

Vision: Develop leadership among women.

Goals: To help women new to SCIP get connected immediately and demonstrate to them the paths to leadership opportunities within SCIP. The WLC members will network and mentor to encourage long-term commitment to SCIP and the CI profession.

We encourage the women of SCIP to volunteer and get involved in various positions of leadership and be a proponent of CI for business success. Some of the volunteer opportunities where we can help include: becoming a chapter coordinator, submitting articles for the magazine and newsletter, becoming a speaker, joining a committee and/or running for the Board of Directors. Feel free to contact us and we look forward to helping you become a SCIP leader!
