This moment is about strengthening our foundation — governance, structure, and sustainability — so that WiES can grow with clarity, credibility, and long-term impact.

While we take this pause, WiES is not going away — we are building.
We invite you to stay connected, follow along, and be part of what comes next. Updates on our progress, relaunch timeline, and opportunities to get involved will be shared as we move forward.
Thank you for your patience, trust, and continued belief in the mission of Women in Emergency Services.
Together, we are laying the groundwork for something stronger, more sustainable, and even more impactful.
