MA (and neighbors) Women in Emergency Management

If you’ve been meaning to plug into MWEM - this is your moment.

We’re bringing the Massachusetts (and neighbors) Women in Emergency Management (MWEM) group back together at the MEMA bunker in Framingham (yes, the bunker - and yes, there’s a tour 👀).

What to expect:

• Big updates you’ll want to hear
• Behind the Public Safety Scenes of the FIFA World Cup with Kerin Milesky (Director, DPH Office of Preparedness & Emergency Management), Sara Zaleickas (MEMA, Special Events Program Coordinator and Co-Chair of ALL 14 Public Safety Planning Groups), and Dawn Brantley (MEMA, Director)
• Real networking time (not just quick hellos)
• A chance to share your wins because you’ve got them

MWEM is built for women in emergency management at every stage - students, new professionals, and seasoned leaders alike. It’s a space to connect, learn, and be part of something bigger than your day-to-day work.

No pressure. No pretense. Just a strong group of women showing up for each other.

Join us - you’ll be glad you did.

HYBRID MEETING

Join us in person or online. All registrants and everyone on the MWEM distro list will receive a Zoom link prior to the meeting.

Info: This is your moment. Big or small, professional or personal - we want to hear it. Did something go right? Did you push through a challenge? Did you take a step forward? Bring it.
We’ll celebrate every win together because recognizing progress matters, and lifting each other up is what this community is all about.

Info: No awkward mingling here. We’ll guide the conversation with simple prompts, groupings by sector, and thoughtful pairings - like students with experienced professionals - so you can focus on connecting, not figuring out what to say.

Just show up - we’ll make it easy.

Info: Join a small, facilitated group centered on shared experiences, challenges, and goals. Each group focuses on a specific topic - creating space for honest conversation, practical insight, and mutual support.

Whether you’re navigating career growth, workplace challenges, or balancing competing priorities, this is a space to learn from others, share your perspective, and leave with new ideas and connections. CURRENT GROUPS INCLUDE: Challenging Workplace Misogyny, EM Moms, Building and Climbing Your Career Ladder (This group will not be meeting in May).
