Regional Group formation and events: BWEEMS hosted 14 regional group events that resulted in connecting over 100 members across the United States, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Members were able to get to network, learn professional development skills, and support each other in their scientific and career pursuits. This successful model resulted in igniting more events to happen virtually and in the future more in person events. This has sparked the creations of local communities which were not there before

Community meetings and virtual programming: 12 community meetings and virtual programming was offered throughout the year to enrich the professional development and networking opportunities for BWEEMS members. This included a two part workshop on getting into graduate school and finding academic advisors that will be supportive not only in graduate school, but beyond. BWEEMS community meetings are a space for networking and sharing stories to create community. Through the development of this space we have found that there is better communication between our members and that. members feel more supported as scientists and therefore more likely to stay in science because they have community.
