Women’s International Stone Alliance – WISA
WISA was established in 2019 by an international group of women working in traditional stone trades (dry stoners, carvers, masons, sculptors etc), who are keen to connect with and support other women also involved, or those keen to give it a try. The primary purpose of the alliance is to:
Raise the profile of women’s contribution to the trades
Encourage and inspire
Advocate across relevant industries
Run conferences and events
Build community
In 2020, WISA conducted a survey which was completed by 149 women from 12 countries with a range of stone trades or relevant interests. The results of the survey and subsequent feedback guides WISA's goals and activities. Click here for the WISA survey
WISA approaches its goals by 'creating change one stone at a time'. Much has been achieved with much still to do, and a lot of exciting opportunities in the pipeline. To find out more, get involved or become a member visit www.womenstonealliance.com
