Women's Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD)

Our signature women’s program is the Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD). WILD brings together new and emerging grassroots women leaders with disabilities from around the world to build skills, exchange experiences and strategies, create new visions and strengthen international networks of support. Through a series of intensive workshops, women move forward in their personal and professional roles as disabled world leaders.

These “WILD Women” truly are changing the world as they return to their countries with new tools and a commitment to address issues of critical importance to women and girls with disabilities. MIUSA has hosted women’s leadership programs in 1997, 2003, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
