Hi everyone,
On June 23rd, we will be celebrating International Women in Engineering Day. This day recognizes the remarkable contributions of women in the field of engineering and aims to encourage more women to pursue careers in this important field.
To celebrate this day, we invite you to participate in a special presentation from a female engineer [NAME] who will share her experiences and insights about the industry. The presentation will take place in the conference room on June 23rd at [TIME], and we encourage all employees to attend. Virtual employees will be emailed a Zoom invitation.
We also encourage you to learn more about the contributions of female engineers and how they have impacted the industry. By recognizing the contributions of women in engineering, we can build a more diverse and inclusive workplace and encourage more women to pursue careers in this field.
Let's work together to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day and recognize the contributions of women in engineering. If you would like to contribute to a panel presentation or get involved with mentorship and networking opportunities for women in engineering, please feel free to reach out to HR.
Thank you,
People Team

How to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day
International Women in Engineering Day is celebrated on June 23rd each year to recognize and celebrate the contributions of women in the field of engineering. This day was established in 2014 by the Women's Engineering Society to raise awareness about the lack of diversity in engineering and to encourage more women to pursue careers in this field.
In 1876, the first woman received a degree in civil engineering. Elizabeth Bragg graduated from the University of Berkeley. But it wasn’t until 1919 that The Women's Engineering Society was established. It was formed to support informally-trained female engineers after the First World War.
Since then, women have gone on to invent many every-day tools and resources we take for granted such as the dishwasher (Josephine Cochran), paper bags (Margaret Knight), windshield wipers (Mary Anderson), rear view mirrors (Dorothy Levitt), the Clarke calculator (Edith Clarke), and even the advent of wireless communication as we know it today (Hedy Lamarr).
Observing International Women in Engineering Day in the workplace is important to recognize the contributions of women in the field of engineering, and to encourage more women to pursue careers in this field. Here are some tips for how to celebrate this day in the workplace:
- Host a Panel Discussion: Invite women in your workplace who are engineers to participate in a panel discussion to share their experiences and insights about the industry.
- Highlight Women in Engineering: Share the stories of women engineers who have made significant contributions to the field with your colleagues through social media, newsletters, or other communication platforms.
- Networking: Organize a networking event to bring together women in engineering to share their experiences and support each other.
- Mentorship: Encourage mentorship opportunities between established women engineers and those who are just starting their careers.
- Training: Provide training opportunities to women engineers and women interested in entering or contributing to the field to help them develop their skills and advance in their careers.
Many industries are still male-dominated, so it's important that we uplift, recognize, and celebrate the women who are breaking glass ceilings and trailblazing the way for other women and making workplaces more equal and inclusive.
