Check out our volunteers! With only two half-time employees, the bulk of OIWC's work is done by its amazing and talented volunteers. These women donate their time and energy to help all women in the outdoor industries recognize their professional goals.
To thank our volunteers, we list them here and encourage you to contact them about your next project. The links included here represent two kinds of OIWC supporters: - Independent women or small-business owners who give their own time to OIWC
