Join us on October 25 for the next meeting of the Women in Energy group mentorship program led by Sunaina Ocalan, Corporate Strategy Director at Hess Corporation. This session will focus on workplace etiquette and dress code. How will it work? Intended to build off of conversation, and experiences, this will be a group mentoring session with a maximum of 15 participants. Reading materials for topics will be sent a week in advance, and the mentor will play a faciliatory role to enable discussion. This is intended to be a safe space, so examples or specific issues can be discussed openly. Registration will be required for each session. Space is limited. Please register only if you can commit to attending the meeting. These sessions are open to all Women in Energy students and professional members. Light breakfast will be provided.
