\nThe International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES)<\/a> launched Volume II of \u201cRising to the Top \u2013 Global Women Engineering Leaders share their journey to professional success<\/a>\u201d at their annual WEEF and GEDC 2020 Conference, held virtually between 16 and 19 November. <\/p>\n

A number of the authors from Volume I and Volume II spoke about their journeys and the issues facing women engineers around the world. The webinar featured WFEO Immediate Past president Dr Marlene Kanga<\/strong>, Prof. Lidia Zakowska<\/strong>, Poland and a member of the WFEO Committee for Women in Engineering and Prof. Niranjanie Ratnayake<\/strong>, a Past President of WFEO National Member, the Institution of Engineers Sri Lanka. <\/p>\n

The second edition featured many women involved with WFEO as a result of the nomination by WFEO Immediate Past President Marlene Kanga. Prof. Hans Hoyer, Executive Director, IFEES has acknowledged her contribution, as follows: \u201cFor this, our second edition, I was fortunate to be able to get it started by working closely with Marlene Kanga, an important global engineering leader based in Australia. She played a key role as we identified other women leaders and new voices to contribute their stories.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Hoyer is a tireless advocate for the advancement, of women engineers and states:
\n\u201cThe goal of the first and second editions of Rising to the Top is for a new generation of female engineering leaders to be inspired by their peers. Equally important is that many of our male colleagues are sure to be positively impacted as they read about the unique journeys honestly shared within these pages. My hope is that this second edition will trigger even more men in the profession and in engineering education to seriously reflect on how they can be more effective, engaged, and sensitive in terms of supporting women in their leadership roles\u2014regardless of what culture they live in.<\/i>\u201d.<\/p>\n
