if you look at our program and services and the things we do, it really falls into one of those categories. So whether it’s outreach and encouraging young girls to pursue engineering careers, as well as educating their parents about what a great career option engineering is, with room to advance. It's helping women to get the skills they need to be successful and advanced, along with building that important network and then achieve through our magazine and awards program, where we highlight the accomplishments of women in the field. Also, a really important piece of that mission for us is working with the employers of our members and working with organizations and helping them to understand: What does and inclusive culture look like? What are things to be aware of that may be different for women or other under-represented groups, as compared to the majority culture within their organization; helping them understand it’s got to start
