The mission of The Cyber Guild directly aligns to two things I have a passion for. One is helping get more people into cybersecurity to fill critical shortages across the nation. The other is increasing the diversity of that workforce that both better reflects the world that we live in but, more importantly, creates better outcomes. Cybersecurity is a team sport. It not only takes ‘more’ people in cybersecurity, but it takes much stronger teams and more highly functioning teams to keep our nation, our companies and our families safe.

The Cyber Guild represents the most effective effort to address the shortfalls in the cyber workforce - especially in the development of mid-level cyber policy leaders. The Cyber Guild's bottom-up approach to identifying and mentoring future cyber leaders will measurably contribute to the U.S. establishing a diverse, thoughtful cybersecurity leadership for the 2030s.

"UWIC was the first women-focused event I attended and it was such a valuable experience because of the caliber and accessibility of the speakers. Intimate events are a wonderful way to really get to know everybody in the room, and the fact that it was attended by more than just women showed us the mentalities that our allies have for advancing our place in the industry."
