Minority Programs
The Minority Affairs Committee is leading the Institute towards a more diverse profession, both in practice and in awareness.
The Committee promotes activities that will encourage the education and training of minorities in engineering and related disciplines. Funding is needed to help support existing and upcoming MAC projects through the development and enhancement of student award and scholarship opportunities such as the MAC Scholarship Fund, as well as mentoring programs.
Women’s Initiatives
The Women's Initiatives Committee (WIC) leads AIChE in promoting the entry, development, and full participation of women in the Institute and the profession. Funding is needed to mobilize AIChE to meet the needs of existing and potential female members.
Specifically, monies raised towards women’s initiatives aid in the development and distribution of resources on subjects pertaining to women in the profession, provide an expansive network for women in AIChE to use each other as resources, and increases the visibility of women in AIChE and the profession as a whole.
