Engineers need to be connected to communities to provide appropriate solutions and new engineers are ideally positioned to excel at that; women even more so. Jill Hass will share how this applies overseas, in humanitarian response and in sustainable development, and in our home municipalities. 

Jill Lauren Hass, P.Eng., M.Eng., LEED AP® is a Senior Civil/Environmental Engineer with 20+ years of infrastructure design and construction experience, specialized in employing innovative biological systems to replace electro-mechanical water & wastewater infrastructure. Jill spent 10 years working/volunteering on Sustainable Development projects in Central and South America before becoming Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of a private alternative sewer company. Recently, Jill returned from a 3 year contract with UNHCR as their Jordan WASH Officer to install the first purpose-built municipal sewerage system within a UN refugee camp, 6 km south of the Syrian border in Jordan, servicing up to 100,000 people. She currently is the Global WASH Technical Director for Relief International, a charity that works exclusively in post-disaster areas.
We’re not going to promise to give you all of the answers at this Coffee Club, but we are going to discuss how to support other females, to try to break down the behaviours that lead to the stereotype that ‘women don’t support other women’. Because when women support other women – we are not only more successful together, but can accomplish amazing things.
​
Some items that we will discuss:
  • How can we spot female-on-female aggression in the workplace? What causes them?
  • When we encounter unsupportive relationships in the workplace, how do we try to turn these into supportive relationships?
  • What are actions that we can take to actively encourage and build up fellow women in the workplace?
