History

WiN Global, an organization of over 2,000 professional women and men in 60 countries, was established in 1993 by a small group of women working in a variety of nuclear fields in Europe and the U.S. They were, and remain, interested in sharing their knowledge about nuclear technologies with women who are concerned about nuclear applications. The 1999 WiN Global meeting in Washington D.C. attracted women and men from 43 U. S. organizations, including 27 electric utilities. From this meeting, the U.S. WIN group emerged. Since 1999, the National Conference has been held annually in such places as Atlanta, Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, Tampa, San Antonio, and Chicago.

In 2003, U.S. WIN broadened its sphere of influence by inviting college students with majors in the technical studies relative to nuclear/radiation technologies to attend the conference. The students met and talked with professionals who work in fields that many of them will probably consider after college. For most of the students, the meeting was an important first step in developing a network of professional contacts.
