The Launch of WIN Northern Ireland

Women’s Infrastructure Network (WIN) Northern Ireland(NI) will officially launch on Thursday 25th April at Belfast Harbour Commissioners. WIN NI will seek to be an impactful network where women working in infrastructure can connect, collaborate and collectively influence NI’s Infrastructure Agenda. The network is open to professionals at all stages of their career whether just starting out or an experienced leader.

The launch will set out the aims and ambitions of WIN NI and seek input on the areas this chapter should focus on to drive the network’s impact locally.

Our panel discussion will host leaders from the Infrastructure community across the island of Ireland who will share insights on their career experiences, challenges and achievements working in a sector where traditionally women have been under-represented. 

Our panelists: 

• Theresa Donaldson – Chair of Belfast Harbour and Deputy Chair Eirgrid plc

• Sara Venning – CEO of Northern Ireland Water & Non-Executive Director, ESB

• Mairead Meyer – COO of National Broadband Ireland & former MD of Openreach in NI

Join us from 5pm for a welcome reception and networking with speakers, panelists and fellow WIN Ireland members.
