Women have served proudly since the founding of this great nation and in every military conflict since the Revolutionary War. Throughout time, military women continue to accomplish and excel in the training, education and professional development required to become military servicemembers. Today, over 200,000 women serve in the military in every occupation open to women and in every pay grade through Four-Star General and Vice Admiral ranks.
Until 2003, there was no organization that addressed the specific professional and personal needs of military women officers. Up to now, these women have either relied on their own personal motivation or the support of friends, families and personal contacts. AcademyWomen is an organization created by and for women military officers as a ready source of personal and professional support. AcademyWomen brings women with similar experiences and challenges, together for support, mentorship, personal and professional development. In addition, we provide insight, research and advocacy on policy issues relating to women veterans.
