CWiE is excited to announce Allies in Energy 2022! For this years’ forum, it’s more important now than ever before to not only continue the discussion around diversity, inclusion and equity, unconscious biases and stereotypes, but also hear from people of different cultures, backgrounds and experiences, and take an intentional, meaningful and purposeful call to action that will result in transformative change.

The intention for this forum is to dig deeper into people’s lived experiences and learn from and understand not only our indigenous allies, but those groups and individuals who are underrepresented so that we can continue to build trust and community in a challenged environment.

At this time, we are looking for sponsors for this inclusive event. Please click here for highlights of our sponsorship opportunities.
