Get ready for one of the most impactful conversations ever on EECO Asks Why!  In 2020 we had a series that focused on Women in Engineering and those stories resonated with so many people.  In 2022 we wanted to serve you by bringing panels of women together to share their insight on topics that are critical to industry.  The panel featured in this episode focused on the topic of leadership and their insight was nothing short of spectacular. 

Joining the panel we had returning guest Natalie Birdwell, Megan Samford, and Lee Chapman. These ladies covered it all and gave a true behind the scenes look at what leadership looks like for women in industry.

They unpack items such as:

• What is different for women in leadership positions?
• Is it a level playing field?
• What are some of the biggest moves forward industry has made?
• What does work/life balance look like?

This conversation covers it all and we hope it provides hope and inspiration for the next generation of women leaders that industry desperately needs.  Share this message with your daughters, nieces, aunts, and mothers as there is a great opportunity in front of us to support women as industry continues to grow and thrive in this country.
