IgniteFDI grows stronger when members contribute ideas and create opportunities for connection.
If you are interested in hosting a mentorship discussion, leadership workshop, community meetup, or some other event that supports the IgniteFDI mission, we encourage you to share your idea.
Perhaps you'd rather not do the actual hosting, but your idea could still be the next opportunity for women in Security Forces to connect, learn, and lead together. Share your idea, anyway!
