***NEW*** Sunday, March 8, 2026 marks International Women's Day. PEGNL celebrates the achievements of women and their contributions to engineering, geoscience and beyond. We also celebrate and thank all our members, volunteers, and staff.

The 2026 theme is "Give To Gain", which emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organizations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication.

CCDI is marking International Women's Day with a webinar that will explore what it means to lead inclusively, navigate complex systems, and create lasting impacts in workplaces and communities. To register for the webinar click here.
