The Women’s Energy Network (WEN) Florida Chapter was officially launched in September 2024, marking a pivotal moment for professionals across the Sunshine State’s diverse energy landscape. As one of the newest additions to the national WEN network, our chapter was founded with a clear mission: to empower, connect, and elevate those working in all sectors of the energy industry—from renewables and utilities to data infrastructure and emerging technologies.

Since our kickoff, WEN Florida has hit the ground running with a series of impactful events designed to educate, inspire, and build community among our members. Highlights from our inaugural year include:

• Career Pathways in Energy and Sustainability: Career Advice from Energy Experts

A dynamic panel discussion featuring seasoned professionals who shared their journeys, challenges, and insights into building a successful career in the evolving energy sector.

• Data on Demand: Powering the Future of Data Centers

This event explored the intersection of energy and digital infrastructure, focusing on how data centers are shaping energy demand and innovation in Florida and beyond.

• Resumes and Recruiting in the AI Era

A timely and practical session that offered guidance on navigating the modern job market, with a focus on how AI is transforming hiring practices and resume strategies.

These events reflect our commitment to providing meaningful programming that supports professional development, fosters leadership, and encourages collaboration across disciplines.

Our Board of Directors is passionate about building a vibrant, inclusive community where women and men in energy can thrive. Whether you're a student, early-career professional, or industry veteran, WEN Florida is here to support your journey.
