Each year, it is an honor to learn more about the women of the wireless infrastructure industry as WIA celebrates International Women’s Day March 8 and Women’s History Month throughout March.

At last month’s Wireless Women’s Leadership Luncheon, hosted by WIA and the Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum, some of the industry’s foremost female leaders and influencers shared their stories of building their careers in wireless and their perspectives on how to bring more women into the industry and help them and advance their careers. At the event, WIA President and CEO Patrick Halley noted it is a fitting time to recognize the contributions of women to the wireless industry, with women chairing the Senate and House Commerce Committees and their key subcommittees, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission.
