The ‘Importance of Women’ (IOW) program holds monthly networking speaker events for our Women 4 STEM members and their guests, where we ask inspiring women and men in STEM fields, to share their experiences about the job they do now, how they got to where they are, the challenges they faced, the pitfalls they experienced along the way and the successes celebrated.

The series is designed to give our members and guests the opportunity to:

Gain an understanding of what is possible
Get ideas on how to progress their career
Consider different career opportunities and alternatives
Hear real life experiences on how to deal with some of the challenges that face women in the workforce
Gain different and/or new perspectives on the STEM Industries
Meet people and expand their network

At Women 4 STEM, we are passionate about our service pillar programs which focus on creating sustainable services that span the life stages of a woman’s career. By reviewing how our programs can overlap, there is a clear career path and ensuring that we are offering a range of services that is inclusive of all women.

Our members are at the heart of what we do. Their membership, community, and engagement help to keep Women 4 STEM going. In partnership with our corporate, education and individual members, we share a commitment to diversity and the support of women and girls across all stages of their careers. We have welcomed new individual and corporate members into our fold.

We recognise that we are only as good as the people who make everything happen. Women 4 STEM is run entirely by volunteers. In FY21, more than 200 volunteers invested over 10,000 volunteer hours, doing everything from managing our social media, recruiting for events, running world-class programs, providing mentorship support, and everything in between—in addition to a global pandemic. Our organisation wouldn’t be possible without our volunteer’s generosity and support.
