Both organizations work at the intersection of race and gender and seek to uplift women and women of color. In a recent Zoom call, YW Boston President and CEO, Beth Chandler, was interviewed by Elena Spencer, Vice President of WEST’s Board of Directors. In the candid conversation, Beth and Elena discussed various topics, including how to support women in STEM, YW Boston’s [Parity on Board](https://www.ywboston.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/An-Act-to-Promote-Gender-and-Racial-Diversity-on-Public-Boards-and-Commissions-Fact-Sheet-2023.pdf), and [returning to the office](https://www.ywboston.org/2021/08/how-to-facilitate-an-equitable-return-to-the-workplace/).  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/a-conversation-on-supporting-women-in-stem-and-how-returning-to-the-office-is-impacting-marginalized-identities) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/a-conversation-on-supporting-women-in-stem-and-how-returning-to-the-office-is-impacting-marginalized-identities#comments-listing) Topics: [Leadership](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/leadership), [Community](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/community), [#MemberSpotlight](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/memberspotlight), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [D&I](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/di), [Business Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/business-development), [Female Representation STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/female-representation-stem) ## [The STEM-Business Fusion: How to Turbo-Boost Your Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-poss-stem-in-business) Posted by [Diana K.

We can’t all be doctor-astronaut-business leaders like [Dr. Mae Jemison](https://info.westorg.org/blog/stem-career-options). But you can leverage your STEM and industry expertise to make the leap from a linear career. Hop the single-track and explore the multi-faceted web of STEM enterprise. You’ve probably already been building the net unconsciously.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-poss-stem-in-business) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-poss-stem-in-business#comments-listing) Topics: [Transitions](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/transitions), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-stem), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Emotional Intelligence](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/emotional-intelligence), [Career Possibilities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-possibilities), [Speed Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/speed-networking), [New Opportunities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/new-opportunities), [MBA](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/mba), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [Women in Business](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-business), [Be Fearless, Be Brave](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/be-fearless-be-brave), [Venture Capital/VC](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/venture-capital-vc), [Business Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/business-development) ## [Career Possibilities Series](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series) Posted by [Jaime Luna](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/jaime-luna) on Sep 23, 2019 8:18:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/2019-09%20Blog%20Pic%20.jpeg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series) In the world of business, careers are no longer linear or predictable. What was once a clearly sign-posted path as you progressed through milestones, a career road map is now circuitous presenting new challenges and opportunities at every bend. Life-long careers in one sector or one company are becoming a rarity as new technologies and shifting social norms disrupt traditional careers. Both employers and employees are seeking more diversity of experience, lifestyle flexibility and alternative paths. These panels are designed to help you think about your career path and the different options that are open to you. Each panel will have an informational interview type feel with panelists sharing their career paths, a look at what their job entails, transferrable skills for those looking to make a change, tips for uncovering opportunities, advice for others, and how to make brave leaps. Then you will get some small group time with the panelists during a few speed networking rounds.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/career-possibilities-series#comments-listing) Topics: [Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/events), [STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/stem), [Women](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women), [Science](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/science), [Transitions](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/transitions), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Panel](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/panel), [Cambridge](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/cambridge), [Success](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/success), [Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-stem), [Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/networking), [Upcoming Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/upcoming-events), [Innovation](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/innovation), [Professional](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/professional), [Biotech](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/biotech), [Digital](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/digital), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [Career Possibilities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-possibilities), [Speed Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/speed-networking), [New Opportunities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/new-opportunities), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [#WESTorg](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westorg), [Be Fearless, Be Brave](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/be-fearless-be-brave), [Venture Capital/VC](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/venture-capital-vc), [Business Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/business-development), [Research & Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/research-development), [Devices](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/devices), [Medical](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/medical) [All posts](https://info.westorg.org/blog/all) ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic -
