MEMBER EXPERIENCE

What members say

It was a joy to present for the Women in STEM Network with founder Dr. Shara Cohen. I encourage speakers who care deeply about empowering women in the workforce to join ranks with this global and genuinely supportive community.


Dr. Cohen and her team create an environment that is welcoming, relaxed, and highly focused on enriching women around the world. Our time together felt warm, authentic, and deeply engaging. While the network honors both academic and industry excellence, its true strength lies in connecting the hearts and minds of women in STEM.


This organization is truly living its mission. Presenting for WISN left me uplifted—I could feel the feedback loop of connection that is so rare in virtual settings today.


Thank you, Dr. Shara Cohen, Jaci Harmen, and all who attended. I look forward to being an active member with you!
