The 23 June 2021 is International Women in Engineering Day. #INWED21 is a day to celebrate women in engineering and shine a light on the amazing career opportunities available to girls and women in this incredible industry.

As part of our celebrations today, CIHT will be inaugurating CIHT’s 3^rd female President, Deborah Sims FCIHT, at our CIHT Presidential Inauguration 2021 Ceremony. The event will start at 17:00 with welcome and opening remarks from CIHT's Chief Executive Officer, Sue Percy FCIHT. Our new President Deborah will discuss and answer audience questions on her theme of ‘route to professionalism’ and CIHT’s plans for the next 12 months. This will be a fantastic opportunity to hear from the new President. Don’t miss out and book your place here.

Furthermore, to support #INWED21, we have asked a number of CIHT women members the questions that need to be answered. To learn more about their journey and achievements as women in engineering and discover the amazing career opportunities available to girls and women in this incredible industry, visit our CIHT Women in Transport Hub and keep an eye on our CIHT LinkedIn and Twitter channels.
