Women In Product

Women in Product (WIP) is an organization that fosters community, professional development, and industry advocacy for women working in Product Management. Some of our Toastmasters club members come from the WIP online community, and we are so grateful for their support! The Women in Product Toastmasters club is proud of our growing collaboration that works to uplift each other's vision.

          • Thanks to the generosity of WIP, any extra tickets the club possesses will be rewarded to club contestants in the order of their final placing

• WIP Toastmasters Club Networking Event: Each year, the club hosts at least one networking event at the WIP Conference to educate the community about Toastmasters and connect with women looking to further their speaking and leadership skills. All club members attending the conference are asked to attend to share their experiences with potential new members.

All club members are encouraged to use the club to help develop content for conferences, etc. We love to support each other's goals.

We recommend all members participate in the Women in Product Facebook group, it's an excellent resource.
