The Association of Women in Energy’s mission is to provide opportunities for women to meet other energy industry professionals and to enhance their knowledge of issues facing the industry. We focus on ways to encourage and unite women in energy. We strongly believe the more women know and are engaged in the energy industry, the more value they bring to their own careers and the advancement of the companies they work for. Our board members include an impressive list of women who have “been there and done that”. We have lived through the changes, challenges, struggles, and continuous evolution of the energy sector. We have learned to not only face adversity, but to be better because of it. I encourage all members of AWE to reach out to each other, living out our mission to encourage and unite each other and enhance our knowledge of issues facing the industry.
A great way to get to know the members of AWE is to join us at our annual conference (finally back after two years!). This year we will be focused on the challenges in the energy sector. We will have panels with some of our industry’s leading experts focusing on permitting challenges that have caused delays and complications at many sites; policy changes that keep development in a constant state of change; interconnection struggles related to reform, delays, and high costs; and supply chains issues from equipment to transport, to labor. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to meet with other AWE members and also learn about a large amount of challenges (and opportunities) in our industry.
