After years of being the sole woman involved in energy transactions, Women's Energy Network's founder believed that many women energy professionals were in the same position, but unable to connect with each other. Years later, the Women's Energy Network remains committed to providing high caliber events and networking to its diverse membership from across the energy value chain.
