The Women’s Meat Industry Network (WMIN) has been formed by a group of female leaders in the meat and poultry sectors who are passionate about education, development, promotion and retention of women in these industries. The group is not exclusive to women, but open to anyone with an interest in promoting its values.

What is WMIN? A cross-sector group of smart, talented women looking to develop both professionally and personally in an industry that is traditionally male dominated. We are a network to connect people who share the passion of helping women flourish within the meat and poultry industries.

Why WMIN? Women want to be successful, yet a variety of barriers slow progress and limit opportunities within our industry. This often results in talent leaving not only organizations, but the entire industry. Women leaders are willing to bring along other women, but the right infrastructure (mentoring, support from leadership, etc.) has not existed. So much of the work has been individual and one-off. WMIN is an organization that is building the infrastructure for all levels and roles within the meat and poultry industries.
