style="color: #0000ff;">{{Insert OU}}</span> pledges to work towards gender-diversified panels at all IEEE meetings, conferences, and events, including our own.”</em></p> </blockquote> <h2>History of the WIE Pledge</h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="lazyload alignright" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27223%27%20height%3D%27281%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20223%20281%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27223%27%20height%3D%27281%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" data-orig-src="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/womens_experience_in_tech-225x283.jpg" alt="Women's Experience In Tech PDF screenshot." width="223" height="281" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">The development of the WIE Pledge resulted from comprehensive discussions within the WIE Committee, comprising representatives from a range of IEEE Organizational Units that include Regions, Societies, and Councils. The committee welcomed input from members at local and international events and inferred valuable insights from responses to membership feedback surveys.</p> <h2 style="text-align: left;">Why Take the WIE Pledge</h2> <p style="text-align: left;">In 2017, an IEEE survey gleaned responses from 4,579 females regarding their experiences within the tech industry, prominently soliciting opinions of more senior members on how IEEE could assist in addressing the challenges women in technology encounter at work. Among the chief insights was a call for more inclusivity at conferences by including more women on the organizing committees and featuring them as speakers.</p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/Womens_EXperiences_In_Tech.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Women’s Experiences In Tech Survey</a> (PDF)</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ieee-women-in-engineering-leads-a-pledge-to-make-speaker-panels-more-gender-balanced" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IEEE Women in Engineering Leads a Pledge </a></strong><strong><a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/ieee-women-in-engineering-leads-a-pledge-to-make-speaker-panels-more-gender-balanced" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to Make Speaker Panels More Gender Balanced</a> (IEEE Spectrum)</strong></p> <h2>How Can You Take The WIE Pledge?</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The process to take the WIE Pledge is not one size fits all. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">For example, each OU may have its own required specifications, which can be inquired about and discussed with the OU’s leadership. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, certain Organizational Units are expanding the parameters of the Pledge to include factors such as ethnicity, age, and others. This is allowable on the condition that the pledge at its core maintains an obligation to strive for gender diversity and inclusivity. </span>For a guideline to proceed forward, please refer to the four steps outlined below.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><b>1. Assessing Interest:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">First, speak with your organization’s leadership – including your WIE Committee representative, Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) representative, Vice President (VP), President, Director, or Steering Committee. Coordinate a meeting and share this prepared <a href="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/WIE-Pledge-Presentation.pptx.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PowerPoint presentation</a> including the attached </span><a href="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/WIEPledgeMotionTemplate.docx.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">FAQ document</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that offers detailed insights about the pledge, its ethos, impact, and the roles that the members may play. </span></li> <li aria-level="1"><b>2. Motion Presentation:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you receive positive feedback and a sufficient show of interest and commitment, a motion must be presented to your governing body for approval to take part in the WIE pledge. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">A motion template</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is available for your optional use. Please adjust the template as necessary, in alignment with your section, society, or region’s guidelines.</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><b>3. Notification of Approval:</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Upon the appropriate approval, kindly notify us via email at </span><a href="mailto:wie-pledge@ieee.org"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wie-pledge@ieee.org</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, containing the specifics of the agreed commitment and acceptance of the section, society, or region to use the WIE logo as part of the pledge.</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><b>4. Logo Exchange:</b> As part of completing the pledge, we will exchange logos for our respective websites, which will foster a sense of unity and encourage others to join in this initiative.</li> </ul> <h2>The WIE Pledge Logo</h2> <p><img decoding="async" class="lazyload alignright" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27225%27%20height%3D%27225%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20225%20225%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27225%27%20height%3D%27225%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" data-orig-src="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/Your-paragraph-text-1-225x225.png" /></p> <p style="text-align: left;">The WIE Pledge logo was created for those who adopt the WIE Pledge to show representation via their communications channels. The WIE Pledge logo can be displayed via the following communication channels, i.e website, email, presentations, social media channel, print collateral, etc.</p> <p style="text-align: left;">Upon the appropriate approval, kindly notify us via email at <u><a href="mailto:wie-pledge@ieee.org">wie-pledge@ieee.org</a></u>, containing the specifics of the agreed commitment and acceptance of the section, society, or region to use the WIE logo as part of the pledge. The WIE Pledge logo will then be provided to the requester.</p> <h2></h2> <h2>What IEEE Organizational Units (OUs) Are Saying</h2> </div><div class="fusion-testimonials classic awb-speech-bubble-show fusion-testimonials-1" style="--awb-textcolor:#4a4e57;--awb-backgroundcolor:#f9f9fb;--awb-testimonial-border-style:solid;--awb-testimonial-border-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-navigation-size:12px;--awb-border-top-left-radius:0px;--awb-border-top-right-radius:0px;--awb-border-bottom-left-radius:0px;--awb-border-bottom-right-radius:0px;--testimonial-border-width-top:0px;--testimonial-border-width-right:0px;--testimonial-border-width-bottom:0px;--testimonial-border-width-left:0px;" data-random="1" data-speed="3000"><div class="reviews"><div class="review active-testimonial alignment-left avatar-image"><blockquote><div class="awb-quote"><div class="awb-quote-content"> <p>“<a href="https://ieeetv.ieee.org/speaker/bernadette-bouchon-meunier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier</a>, the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society 2020 and 2021 president, says the society has a long tradition of supporting women in its field, and “is happy to take up the IEEE WIE pledge,” which the society “has already put into practice in its own events and activities.”</p> </div></div><span class="awb-triangle"></span></blockquote><div class="author"><span class="testimonial-thumbnail"><img decoding="async" class="testimonial-image lazyload" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%27200%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20200%20200%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27200%27%20height%3D%27200%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E" width="200" height="200" alt="Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier headshot." style="--awb-border-radius:50%;" data-orig-src="https://wie.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/bernadette_bouchon_meunier-headshot.jpg" /></span><span class="company-name"><strong>Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier</strong><span>, </span><a href="https://ieeetv.ieee.org/speaker/bernadette-bouchon-meunier" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span> IEEE Computational Intelligence Society</span></a></span></div></div><div class="review avatar-image"><blockquote><div class="awb-quote"><div class="awb-quote-content"> <p>“EMBS recognizes and values the role women scientists and engineers have played in our overall societal success,” says <a href="http://www.bioe.uh.edu/faculty/akay" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metin Akay</a>, 2021 EMBS President. “We pledge to continue to promote female scientists and engineers by encouraging involvement in our conferences, publications, technical, and membership activities and committees.
