Jackson Walker partner Monica Pace Messick, President of the Women’s Energy Network (WEN) – North Texas Chapter, announced the Chapter’s Annual Kickoff Socials for January and February 2019. The Women’s Energy Network is a nonprofit of women professionals in the energy industry that provides networking and community outreach opportunities and fosters career and leadership development. Founded in 1994, the organization has more than 4,000 members nationwide.

On January 22, Monica shared her vision for the North Texas Chapter:

“As we move into 2019, three key focal areas for our chapter will be networking, leadership and community. We’re excited for our many upcoming networking and educational luncheons, community outreach and volunteering opportunities, the annual leadership conference in June, and fun, interactive social events. We also look forward to the continued expansion and improvement of our executive tier program, a sub-group of our chapter which was launched in 2017 as a platform for women at the highest ranks of their profession to network and collaborate with one another.”

The Fort Worth Social was held January 31, 2019, at Taverna, 450 Throckmorton Street from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The Dallas Social will be held on February 7, 2019, at Mi Cocina, 3699 McKinney Ave. from 5:30 7 p.m. You do not need to be a member to attend the WEN Annual Kickoff Socials.
