🌟 Celebrating Women in Engineering Day with an Inspiring Panel Discussion! 🌟 Our virtual panel on Project Management and Career Advancement was a fantastic event, filled with inspiring insights and practical advice for women in engineering. The panel included Heather Monigan, MBA, Iris Takamatsu, and Mary Despe, and was moderated by Quynh Tran. Heather Monigan shared essential project management skills and highlighted their importance in engineering, regardless of one's role. Iris Takamatsu emphasized the benefits of creating an inclusive workforce for business success. Mary Despe discussed navigating career growth and overcoming job search challenges. Each panelist also shared their personal experiences of overcoming obstacles in their career development and project management.

Thank you everyone, who participated in our event on June 12, 2024 about Safety Intelligence. The event was cohosted by IEEE Hawaii Section, IEEE Hawaii Women In Engineering, IEEE Hawaii IAS chapter and Lawson & Associates, Inc. Unlocking Safety Intelligence: IQ + EQ3 = SQ. Safety Intelligence is the process that can help leaders put in place a safety management system focused on business improvement as a whole. The discussion outlined some key factors to create a successful safety culture. The discussion was led by Tracy Lawson, President & Founder of Lawson & Associates, Inc., and Co-Founder of the Safety Intelligence Institute. Tracy has over 30 years of experience in the occupational safety and health field and holds several board certifications. Tracy shared her extensive knowledge and expertise, emphasizing the importance of integrating Safety Intelligence (SQ) by combining IQ (Intelligence Quotient) and EQ³ (Emotional Quotient) to enhance safety culture. The discussion covered critical elements for fostering a successful safety culture, including leadership commitment, employee engagement, continuous learning, and proactive risk management. We extend our gratitude to Lawson's Safety Institute for collaborating with us and helping make this event a success. Their partnership and support were instrumental in providing valuable insights and fostering a deeper understanding of Safety Intelligence.

We are thrilled to announce the success of our recent workshop, where we presented the Lei Poina’ole Project, an initiative dedicated to the sustainable growth and longevity of Hawaii's lei industry. 🌺 The event was organized to celebrate the Women in Engineering day with the global IEEE Women in Engineering . As a Hawaii nonprofit organization, BEHawaii is committed to empowering and elevating our community by raising awareness and providing support to create prosperity. The Lei Poina’ole Project is at the heart of this mission, fostering community partnerships, educational programs, and a robust network of growers, makers, and vendors.  Our speakers shared valuable insights into the significance of leis, their cultural heritage, and the ongoing efforts to support and develop the lei industry. The audience, seated around the speakers in traditional Hawaiian style, created an intimate and culturally immersive experience. We had a wonderful time learning more about the meaning of leis, their cultural importance, and how we can engage in supporting the development of the lei industry. Attendees enjoyed a hands-on lei-making session, where they could create their own leis while learning about the traditional techniques and materials used.  We extend our gratitude to Lawson & Associates, Inc. and @BEHAWAI'I for collaborating with us and helping make this event a success. We hope to continue fostering such valuable partnerships in the future.  Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this event. We hope to see you at our future gatherings!
