Engineering Institutions ​and
​Professional Bodies

Professional Engineering Institutions will be keen to increase their number of women engineers, chartered engineers, incorporated engineers, registered technicians and Fellows. Here is what you can do.
  • Set up a Women's Network or arrange a social event for your women engineers.
  • Publicise your support for women engineers through promoting female role models.
  • Advertise the day to your members and encourage them to organise their own events 
  • Start a campaign to encourage your women members to apply for Professional status and Fellowships
  • Ask your current Fellows to recommend a female colleague for Fellowship
  • Organise a prestige lecture given by one of your senior women engineers or by a Karen Burt Award nominee
  • Ask your members to join the WES Register of Women Engineers, Inspiring the Future, or STEM Ambassadors
  • Encourage your members to volunteer as Mentors in WES’ MentorSET programme
  • Promote INWED18 to your members and encourage them to set up their own events 
  • Survey your women members to see what support they want, and roadmap your activities to support this outcome
  • Organise a Women's Networking Event or mentoring workshop
  • Consider appointing a Diversity and Inclusion Officer
  • Review your Diversity Policy and ensure that you are doing enough to ensure Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

Good luck with your planning, and do let us know what you are doing so we can feature the range of activities on our website via inwed@wes.org.uk and on Twitter using @INWED1919 #INWED18 #RaisingTheBar.
