For over 45 years, the Women's Council on Energy & the Environment (WCEE) has provided nonpartisan, policy neutral forums on energy and environmental issues to foster the professional development of our members. WCEE provides educational and networking opportunities through informative events with leaders and experts, fun excursions and happy hours, and programming designed to help members build a supportive network, navigate career transitions, and realize their potential. WCEE also holds an annual Awards reception to shine a light on the extraordinary leadership and mentorship in our industries by honoring a Woman of the Year, WCEE Champion, and Sparks Awardees which will take place on November 16, 2026. Please join us to celebrate our honorees!

Third Way launched Women in Energy in 2025 with a simple idea: we have the platform to bring people together, so we should use it. Today, the network includes more than 200 women working across the energy ecosystem, spanning sectors, areas of expertise, organizations, and career stages.

Our goal is not to duplicate the important work already happening across the sector, but to help connect and build upon it. There are incredible organizations, networks, and communities supporting women in energy, and by drawing on Third Way’s reach across the energy landscape, Women in Energy can help bridge networks that do not always overlap, introduce women who may not otherwise find themselves in the same room, and create new pathways for collaboration, mentorship, visibility, and opportunity. Ultimately, we want to use our convening power to strengthen the broader community of women whose ideas, expertise, and leadership are shaping the future of energy
