In between our own globetrotting, the WITS team is hard at work year-round. We strive to be accessible, and hope that you feel comfortable coming to us with any questions or suggestions, or even just stopping by to say hi at a future event.

If you’re interested in joining our larger group of volunteers for one of our upcoming events, keep an eye out on social media and in our newsletter for volunteer applications and opportunities.

 

 

Beth Santos

Founder

Beth is Founder and CEO of Wanderful and creator of WITS.

Now, she is a thought leader on women's travel, an avid community builder, and a voice for women creators and entrepreneurs. She is the product of an art history major at Wellesley followed by a Kellogg MBA, and lives in Boston with a house full of pets, three kids, and a husband, also known as the founder of MITS (which does not in fact exist yet).
