Women's Energy Network of Houston

WEN was founded in 1994 by Karyl McCurdy Lawson with the purpose of fostering the development and advancement of women in energy by developing a strong network. After years of being the sole woman on energy transactions, Karyl believed that many women energy professionals were in the same position, but unable to connect with each other. Ten years later, WEN remains committed to providing high caliber events and networking to its diverse membership from across the energy value chain.

Each month WEN hosts luncheons for members and guests featuring exceptional leaders in energy or other relevant businesses. Male members and guests are also welcome. WEN offers growth opportunities to its members through participation on its Board of Directors and special programs. WEN is based on the model of the premier women's leadership development program, Leadership Texas, which focuses on networking, education, and community. WEN is very active in the Houston community and provides its members a variety of opportunities to give back to others through volunteering and charity oriented events.
