Work/Life Integration Committee
The Work/Life Integration Committee enables women engineers (and other employees) to continue rewarding careers and fully contribute in their jobs while having the satisfaction of caring for themselves, raising the next generation and supporting loved ones.
We heard the desire from our membership to learn how to more effectively integrate our professional responsibilities with our family responsibilities. The Central Illinois Section offers four or more events annually hosted around Work/Life Integration. Some of the events showcase life skills such as time management, stress relief, or physical well-being while others are social events involving members and their families – networking and fun! We also provide dinner and child care opportunities at some of these events. The entire family can participate and members can get some “quiet time” to socialize with other members.
