"The inaugural Women in Chemicals Conference sparked a sense of purpose in me like never before. Seeing so many diverse voices unite with a shared commitment to equity in the industry drove me to join the WIC leadership team and become this year’s conference chair,” said Stephanie Folkmire, conference chair. “The conference showcases the incredible potential we have to create lasting change. My goal for the 2025 conference is for every attendee to leave with the tools and commitment to push current boundaries, challenge the status quo, and drive progress in the chemicals industry.”
