Leadership
Service
Advocacy
The Hallmark of Excellence in any organization is the capacity of its leaders to lead effectively through dedication, knowledge, involvement, and resources.

NWIC Board is comprised of such leaders.  Women with business and community experience dedicated to improving the lives of women and their families in Northwest Indiana.

This combination of "minds" gives us a broad vision to ensure that the women and families we serve receive the best resources, services, and advocacy we can offer.
