Member Testimonials

"WEST is a dynamic group of women involved in science and technology who are interested in and passionate about what they do. The group gives new meaning to what 'networking' is all about." "It is great to see an organization like WEST that fosters and supports the involvement of women in science and technology and helps pave the way for the next generation of up and coming young women. There are so many unique paths to 'success.' WEST plays an important role in helping women discover their own pathway and navigating what can sometimes be an uncertain journey.">

"WEST has given me access to an invaluable network of women with a diverse range of experiences and expertise that I can rely upon for support and guidance in my career."

"Entrepreneurism has always been near and dear to my heart. I come from an entrepreneurial family, and besides the emphasis on women, science and technology, it is this spirit of adventure and willingness to take on new challenges that most appeals to me about the WEST community." "In the year since I have been a part of WEST, I have connected with many women and formed friendships that I believe will endure over time. It is great to know I have a strong support network of people I can reach out to."

"Not only are the people open and willing to help, the programs and guest speakers are fabulous. I just attended a resume writing workshop and found it very beneficial. I would recommend WEST to any professional woman seeking to advance her career, who would like to be part of a wonderfully supportive and welcoming community."
