DEI Resources

The Women's Energy Network is committed to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion – both within the WEN organization and the workplaces in which our members are employed. The resources below are drawn from a variety of external sources and provide a wide range of topics for professionals who would like to make diversity, equity, and inclusion a priority personally or for their organizations. If you have resources to recommend, please Contact Us.  

Learning Modules

WEN is excited to present a series of diversity, equity, and inclusion learning modules. The modules, which will include opportunities to read, watch and discuss in an individual or group setting, are intended to support awareness-building and dialogue around key topics.



Module 1: Race and Ethnicity

• Race and Ethnicity Presentation  - downloadable PPT presentation
• Race and Ethnicity Facilitators Guide - downloadable PDF of slides and facilitators talking points

Note:
These materials are provided by WEN for general information, education, and learning purposes only and do not constitute professional advice and/or opinion on any subject matter. While we attempt to address specific topics, it is not possible to include discussion of every aspect of the topic. These materials are intended to assist WEN members to learn more about diversity, equity, and inclusion to improve workplace behaviors and drive a more inclusive environment for all.
