California WIC

Description/Mission:

The California WIC Association (CWA) is a non-profit organization formed by directors of local WIC agencies in 1992. CWA represents all parties interested in the operation of the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC.)  CWA activities include: training and staff development; public education and advocacy; and participation in maternal and child health, public health, and nutrition education coalitions. CWA members and staff provide leadership by acting as a resource for organizations dedicated to the promotion of maternal and child health, and by participating on Department of Health Services Advisory Boards and Task Forces. CWA seeks inclusion and partnership beyond the traditional WIC network, including other service providers, business and corporations, vendors, and the general public.
