Women in engineering face unique challenges in the workplace and often find that they don’t have many other female colleagues to relate to. The members of Society of Women Engineers, Savannah Coastal Empire have found a community of like-minded women in a society that is 42,000+ strong.
Through SWE membership, women in engineering will advance in their careers and connect with the world’s largest network of women in engineering and their allies. Visit membership.swe.org to explore more about SWE and join or renew today.
