Spotlight on Section Meetings & Women in Engineering Hannah Persson, Vice President for Scotland & Bengaluru (India), kindly shared her inspiring journey and experiences with PWI Section Meetings. Stay tuned for more details in our upcoming Journal! In the meantime, here are a few highlights from our recent conversation: Hannah shared, “I didn’t attend the meetings for about the first year of being a Member because I lacked the courage. But once I did, I realised it wasn’t as intimidating as I thought—just a friendly group eager to share their knowledge.” She also mentioned, “As a female engineer, I’ve made it a point to be visible, hoping that younger women or those uncertain about their path will see me and think, ‘I can do this too.’” We are grateful to Hannah for her openness and generosity. We’re sure you’ll agree that her words resonate with many of us. Ready to take the plunge? Join us at the next Section Meeting and become part of a supportive and inclusive community. Our upcoming meetings are: Stay tuned for more insights from Hannah in our upcoming Journal and online. #WomenInEngineering #PWISectionMeetings
