SFPE has created this special interest group (SIG) for Women in Fire Protection Engineering. WiFPE provides a global hub for women who are in the fire protection engineering profession to network, support, and share best practices to the challenges and opportunities that affect them. In addition, it strives to inspire more women around the globe to pursue a career in fire protection engineering and science.
WiFPE has a dedicated online collaboration space where members can collaborate and discuss issues of importance to them. The online community helps to connect, support and engage individuals, who otherwise would likely not meet. Community members also help to determine topics of interest that can be incorporated into future SFPE programs such as webinars, articles, training sessions, and conference sessions.
SFPE works to:
- Provide networking means for women in SFPE to be resources to each other, including two high visibility receptions at SFPE global conferences annually
- Increase visibility of women in SFPE and within the fire protection engineering profession
- Develop and share resources to support women in fire protection engineering
- Develop and deliver resources to recruit the next generation of women in fire protection engineering
SFPE members can join the WiFPE Special Interest Group by going to SFPE Connect (members only section) and Join a Community then select Women in Fire Protection Engineering from the available groups' list. If you are not yet a member of SFPE, click here to join.
