International Day of Women in Engineering Panel – BC Hydro

June 23 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

We would like to invite you to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day with us on Tuesday, June 23rd, from 12-1:30 pm! This event will be held online and in-person at the BC Hydro Edmonds auditorium in collaboration with IEEE WIE, with an online option for those unable to make it in person. Due to capacity and security reasons, please note that the in-person event is for BC Hydro employees only, and the online portion will be accessible to both external attendees and BC Hydro internal. This event is to recognize and celebrate women in engineering and their various accomplishments across the industry. This year, we are focusing on leadership, involvement, and sharing perspectives – as such, we will have a panel of women in various engineering leadership roles to share about their journeys, experiences, and insights – be ready to ask questions! The event will conclude with time for networking (in-person only) to grow connections and promote community. Please note that while this event is intended to address and celebrate women in engineering, all genders are welcome to join. We ask that those who join please respect that the focus of the event will be on women in engineering and the advancements women have made within the profession.
