4:30 pm: Annual Members Meeting – Members Only
This year’s Annual Members Meeting and Fall Fête will be an evening of celebration, great networking, and more. We’ve designed an Annual Meeting with structured conversations that will provide meaningful career insights, while also shaping NEWIEE’s future programming.
You will connect with fellow energy and environmental leaders through a series of dynamic small group discussions, meeting new colleagues while sharing insights on what’s working in your career journey and what barriers still need addressing.

Whether you’re looking to expand your network, share your expertise, or influence how NEWIEE serves our community, this evening promises meaningful connections.
