In 2021, our company established the Women at M.C. Dean group to provide a supportive and encouraging environment for all women, regardless of their professional field or geographic location. Officially chartered in May 2022, Women at M.C. Dean organizes activities that focus on recruiting, peer support, mentorship, collaboration, and philanthropy.
Highlights
Mentoring and learning
One of the group’s main objectives for the year was to foster an inclusive and supportive environment that enables the continued learning and development of the female community at M.C. Dean. In support of this initiative, Women at M.C. Dean hosts virtual coffee chats where employees discuss topics such as stress management, self-defense, and financial wellness. More than 350 people attended coffee chats in 2022.
Recruiting new talent
This year, Women at M.C. Dean built partnerships with the Society of Women Engineers at George Washington University (GW), University of Virginia (UVA), and George Mason University (GMU), supporting M.C. Dean’s commitment to a diverse workforce. As a result of these partnerships, the group was also able to hold recruiting panels at each institution – reaching young female professionals and growing our brand.
