Our Mission

- To provide an informal setting for professionals in the environmental professions, especially women, to meet, share substantive information and work experiences, and establish a communication exchange;
- To educate members on new developments and current trends in the environmental field; and
- To encourage and promote public service in the environmental field.
NJSWEP Chapter meetings are a forum for discussion of issues experienced by our members. Other membership benefits include periodic news updates, regular seminars, opportunities for self-promotion and corporate promotion, networking luncheons, and mentoring opportunities.
"SWEP has been invaluable in encouraging women to enter the engineering field and in helping women remain in the field through supportive membership programs." ~ Lisa P. Jackson, former Commissioner of the NJDEP and Obama Administration member |
