Women in Electronics

What Women in Electronics does

Women in Electronics, operating under the trade name WE United, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Laguna Niguel, California. The organization operates a membership-based professional community for women working in or aspiring to careers in the electronics industry, offering individual memberships and corporate membership/sponsorship tiers through its weunited.tech website and memberclicks.net member portal.

The product surface is structured around four pillars: (1) professional development programs including a Leadership Master Class Series and a structured Mentorship Program; (2) events anchored by an Annual Summit and complemented by Global Chapter Events, Industry Events, Member Development & Enrichment events, and virtual/in-person WE Lives sessions; (3) content and publications including WE United Magazine, an Industry Newsletter, a Member Newsletter (WE Weekly), and the WE Wire news archive; and (4) resource hubs covering Career Corner, an ESG Hub, and a Tariff Hub launched in 2024 for industry-policy intelligence. Distribution is multi-channel, spanning the main website, the digital magazine, two newsletter streams, and active social profiles on Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.

The revenue model is subscription/recurring in character and consists of four streams: Corporate Membership packages, Corporate Sponsorship and Summit Sponsorship, Individual Membership fees, and tax-deductible Donations facilitated by the organization's 501(c)(3) status. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; individual membership fees are accessible only after member login, while corporate tiers are negotiated on inquiry. The organization employs 1–10 staff and recorded a single disclosed funding transaction with RS Americas on 2022-08-15. There are no disclosed AI/ML, API, or software-product capabilities — WE United is a community and content organization rather than a technology vendor.

Direct peers

• Women Who Code: Global non-profit community for women in technology offering events, mentorship, and career resources with corporate sponsorship. Comparable community/membership model and corporate sponsor GTM, focused more on software engineering than the broader electronics industry.
• Lesbians Who Tech & Allies: Non-profit community advancing LGBTQ+ women and non-binary people in technology through summits, mentorship, and corporate partnerships. Comparable mission-driven membership and event-led model, but with a different identity focus and broader tech scope.
• IPC Women in Electronics (via IPC International): Industry trade association initiative supporting women in the electronics manufacturing and PCB industry. Direct peer in terms of vertical focus (electronics manufacturing) and membership/community model, though operated as a program within a larger association.
• Women in Technology International (WITI): Professional membership organization for women in technology with corporate partnerships, networking events, and career development resources. Closely comparable membership model, corporate-sponsor GTM, and event-driven engagement, though broader in scope than electronics.
• SEMI Women's Industry Network (SEMI WIN): Industry-specific initiative under SEMI advancing women in the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing supply chain. Most direct industry comparable to Women in Electronics, operating as a focused professional community within the electronics value chain.

Broad incumbents

• National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT): Non-profit coalition of universities, companies, and government agencies working to increase women's participation in computing. Comparable mission and corporate-membership revenue model, focused on computing rather than the full electronics value chain.
• Society of Women Engineers (SWE): Long-established professional society advancing women in engineering and technical fields, with a global membership base and large corporate sponsor portfolio. Highly comparable as a women-in-engineering membership and career-development organization, though its scope extends well beyond the electronics value chain.
• AnitaB.org (Anita Borg Institute): Major non-profit focused on women in computing and technology, running programs, events, and corporate partnerships to advance gender equity in tech. Comparable as a women-in-tech membership and corporate-sponsorship-driven organization, but anchored in computing rather than the broader electronics industry.

Emerging players

• Girls Who Code: Non-profit working to close the gender gap in technology through education and workforce programs, supported by corporate partners. Comparable mission, non-profit structure, and corporate-sponsor revenue model, though focused on the K-12-to-career pipeline rather than mid-career professional development.

Others

• Electronic Components Industry Association (ECIA): Industry trade association for electronic components manufacturers and distributors, addressing industry-wide issues including workforce development. Adjacent peer that shares the electronics industry focus and corporate-membership revenue model, though not specifically focused on gender diversity.
