Who We Are
Founded in 2024 by Janis Osborn, Sarah Davidson, and Martha Rojas – three trailblazing women in canmaking – WICA was created to fill a critical gap: a dedicated platform to support women in a traditionally male-dominated industry. The association is building a community that fosters equity and inclusivity, empowering both women and their employers to create a balanced workforce where everyone can thrive. |
