WCEE hosts several special
events throughout the
year. Our signature event
is the Annual WCEE Woman

fields.

What
is a WCEE Champion?
WCEE created the Champion
Award in 1998 as a means
of recognizing the importance
of mentors for women professionals
and to honor those individuals
who have championed the
advancement of women in
our industries. This year
(2008) at our 27th Annual
Event, WCEE will honor
Branko Terzic, Global
& US Regulatory Policy
Leader, Energy & Resources,
Deloitte Services LP as
our 2008 WCEE Champion.
Our
2007 WCEE Champion is
John Rowe, CEO of Exelon
Corporation (pictured
below).
 In
traditional hard science
and policy professions
such as the energy and
environmental areas, WCEE
sought to honor those
men who made an outstanding
contribution to championing
women and encouraging
their professional development.
Since then, WCEE has honored
a select handful of individuals
including Patrick Henry
Wood III, Chairman, US
Federal Regulatory Commission;
Fred Krupp of Environmental
Defense; Senator Jeff
Bingaman (N.M); Charles
Curtis, United Nations
Foundation; and Kevin
Ewing, Partner, Bracewell
& Patterson.
