No one understands the impact of WIC better than WIC staff. Your voice is essential in helping policymakers understand the importance of WIC and the role it plays in supporting families across Wisconsin.
Share Your Story!
Every story from the WIC community helps illuminate the powerful impact of the program and strengthen advocacy for families across Wisconsin.
Therefore, WWA continuously collects testimonials to help elevate and amplify these voices and invites you to be part of that difference. Stories may be shared in written, video, or photo format and can highlight how the WIC program has supported your family or the impact you have witnessed as a WIC provider. Testimonials may be featured on the WWA website, social media, or other advocacy materials and may be submitted with your name and location or anonymously.

Testimonials from Past Attendees
“Attending the NWA conference this year greatly impacted my interest in legislative policy (something I honestly never thought would happen!). I am very passionate about WIC and this conference helped me to better understand the need to advocate at this level to be able to better serve our families. If we really want things to happen on a broad scale to benefit our participants, advocating for legislative policy on behalf of our WIC families is vital.”
- Sarah Nix, Eau Claire County WIC
“The NWA conference was an inspiring opportunity to understand how policy can shape the WIC program to better serve participants. I’m so excited to be a better-informed advocate for the families and communities we serve.”
