Associate Membership

WISTA International has created a new Associate Membership category, broadening opportunities for organisations to join and support the WISTA community.

Devised for companies, institutions and organisations that champion WISTA’s mission but are ineligible to join via a National WISTA Association (NWA), the category offers a new opportunity to support the maritime industry’s leading force for advancing gender diversity and inclusion on a formal basis.

Associate Membership is open to entities operating in the maritime, trading, logistics, transport, port, shipping, energy, or related sectors that can demonstrate clear alignment with WISTA’s mission and have an active presence in at least two countries. In line with entitlements for WISTA International’s individual and corporate members, associate member organisations can nominate up to three representatives to participate in NWA activities.

As part of the launch, WISTA International is offering complementary membership until the end of the year to any organisation applying to become an associate member before 31 December, 2026.
