The CWOIL Organizing Committee announces an exciting change in how we will continue to advance the mission and mandate of increasing the number of women and underrepresented groups in ocean industries.
Over the next 18 months, we will focus on increasing our national and international reach within industry. In collaboration with other ocean industry events, we are actively working to introduce dedicated panels or tracks that will cover topics that impact women and underrepresented groups. We will not be hosting a CWOIL Conference in October 2024. Stay tuned for regular updates on the conferences and sessions we will be participating in and other announcements of nationwide in-person and virtual engagement sessions. Your continued support and understanding are highly appreciated, and we look forward to bringing the CWOIL vision to a broader audience in 2024 and beyond.
