This panel discussion, a collaboration of #AtomicAllies (ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI), featured some of the brightest stars of the industry sharing their keys to success.
Rosemary Yeremian, an experienced professional with 25 years in the industry, published the book “Step Up: The Key to Succeeding in Male-Dominated Businesses.” Rosemary shared lessons from her book and moderated a panel discussion of fellow leaders around strategies and tactics to help women of these nuclear organizations succeed in their careers. They shared lessons learned, personal experiences, and informative anecdotes.
In addition to providing insights on how to move your career forward in nuclear energy, the panel offered tools and resources to become your own brand ambassador and a more effective leader.
ANS, NAYGN, U.S. WIN, and NEI signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2020 to strengthen their collaboration in advancing nuclear energy and science, professional development, and member networking to support industry priorities and benefit their individual members.
