International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) is an important annual celebration to Academy and in recognition of this, we are hosting an event for the next generation of engineers to connect with senior industry leaders, providing a platform to share advice, experiences and encourage participation from both sides, in the form of a leadership lunch.
We are delighted welcome special guest Roni Savage, CEO and Founder of Jomas Associates, for a conversation with focus on how we can apply the rigor afforded to physical safety within engineering to ensure greater psychological safety, in line with this year’s INWED theme of Make Safety Seen.
Each invited guest is requested to bring an early career engineer, who can effectively contribute to discussions around the future of women in engineering, and providing them with a valuable networking opportunity.
