Together WE Rise.
Fueled by honor, authenticity, courage, and commitment, WE United (WE) is a professional network dedicated to championing women leaders and ensuring the inclusion of all qualified talent in shaping the future workforce within the electronics supply chain and adjacent technology-driven industries.
Our leadership model is rooted in civility, ethics, and humanity, creating a framework where collaboration thrives, integrity guides, and innovation flourishes.
While WE began as a community advocating for women in leadership, our natural evolution reflects a greater truth: equity and excellence require unity. Today, WE United embraces and actively engages male stakeholders as allies, mentors, and partners in leadership. By working together, we empower workplaces to rise above biases and fill leadership pipelines with the most qualified candidates, regardless of gender or background.
