TAMUG Women in Maritime Operations

Our Motto:
Our Motto is simple: Educate. Engage. Elevate. women in their careers so they can excel and thrive.
 
Our Mission:
WIMOs is dedicated to retaining, advancing, and promoting women in the maritime industry through sharing knowledge and continuing education.
 
Our Vision:
Support and uplift women who demonstrate an interest in and a commitment to maritime careers. We strive to do this by creating an environment that supports the professional development of women through formal and experiential training. Our vision is for every member to obtain the confidence and necessary resources to thrive in a room regardless of gender.
 
What makes WIMOs unique?
Worldwide, women make up less than 30% of the maritime workforce. WIMOs is composed of women whom are actively employed in maritime operations, which enables our members access to female peers and mentors in the maritime industry. Our organization provides access to a peer group of “like-minded women” who can relate to the day-to-day professional or personal struggles that may arise.
Our Motto is Educate. Engage. Elevate. We achieve this by providing supplemental educational opportunities on diverse topics. WIMOs also maintains female representation at industry events that women may otherwise be left out of. With more education and representation WIMOs prevents women from becoming pigeonholed in their careers.
With more knowledge and a peer support group WIMOs has created a platform to propel women in their maritime career.
 
All these benefits are now extended to students with the creation of the first WIMOs Jr. Chapter at TAMUG!
