The Society of Military Spouses in STEM (SMSS) was formed in 2016 by two military spouse engineers determined to overcome the challenges of maintaining a career with the military lifestyle. SMSS is a member-run organization focused on helping military spouses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields reach their full potential. SMSS was officially registered as a 501(c)(3) non profit on May 2016 and 150+ military spouses have already joined the SMSS Facebook group.
