Get Involved

The programs and activities of WGBI are intended to enhance members’ skills and experience, address challenges confronting the industry, and promote members’ career growth with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of women employed in the battery industry.

WGBI Webinars

WGBI hosts regular webinars connecting members with subject-matter experts across the battery industry — from technical deep-dives to career development. Recent topics include:

Energizing Conversations

Energizing Conversations are one of the best ways to connect with and learn from fellow WGBI members. They’re an open space (unrecorded or broadcasted) to share career experiences and goals, trade advice with peers who understand the industry, and hear directly from experts on the issues shaping the battery world today. Recent topics include reflecting on what you would do differently in your careers if you knew then what you know now, how to be an effective leader and inspire team members, and more.

Social Media

Follow our journey on our LinkedIn page! Members can also connect with other members and get the latest updates on current WGBI activities through the WGBI private LinkedIn Group. If you haven’t already signed up, search Women in the Global Battery Industry and send a request for membership. This group is reserved for WGBI members only.
