AIChE Women’s Initiative - Our Past, Our Future

摘要

We will begin by looking at women’s history in AIChE and the beginnings of the Women’s Initiative Committee, then we will turn to the future and think about what we would like to accomplish in the future. Twenty years is a long time, and we have seen many changes. This has been an exciting year, because I have been working to elect a woman mayor of Austin. She always says that she is a mathematician who was a project manager at Lockheed. However, many people introduce her as an engineer. It makes me proud that people think that a smart woman who understands budgets must be an engineer.
