In recognition of International Women in Engineering Day on June 23, we are calling on women to help raise the profile of engineers who are women and encourage gender representation within the profession. Get involved by posting a picture on your social media holding the INWED selfie card. If you are a champion but not a woman, you can participate by sharing posts on your social media. See the
event listing for more information.
