The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) Women in Engineering (WinE) Chapter marked its 6th Anniversary and handing-over ceremony in Accra under the theme "Six Years of Excellence; Passing the Torch." The event brought together a distinguished audience, including senior ECG leadership, representatives of sister organizations, and members of the Ghana Institution of Engineering (GhIE).

Since its launch on September 13, 2018, ECG WinE has grown into a thriving community dedicated to empowering women engineers and bridging the gender gap in the engineering profession. With initiatives spanning career guidance, mentorship, training workshops, and STEM outreach, the chapter has remained steadfast in its mission to promote professional excellence and inspire the next generation of female engineers.

Reflecting on the journey, outgoing President Ing. Miriam Korantema Amponsah highlighted the chapter's milestones, including the successful organization of career guidance programs, participation in international celebrations such as International Women’s Day, and collaborations with local schools to spark interest in engineering. Over the past six years, ECG WinE has grown from 90 members to 150, with a significant increase in women holding leadership positions within ECG.

Outgoing President Ing. Amponsah expressed her pride in the chapter's achievements, noting its progress in fostering inclusivity and professional development. She emphasized that while much has been accomplished, the journey to achieving gender parity in technical roles continues.

Incoming President, Ing. Alberta Amankwah pledged to build on this strong foundation, envisioning a future of expanded initiatives and greater member engagement. She outlined plans to enhance mentorship programs, promote fair representation in training and recruitment processes, and increase visibility for the chapter. Her vision includes fostering a vibrant network of women engineers who will drive innovation, professional growth, and community impact.

The event was a celebration of resilience, collaboration, and shared commitment. As ECG WinE steps into its next chapter, it continues to exemplify the power of women engineers to shape the future of Ghana's energy sector while inspiring and empowering others to pursue careers in engineering.

With the motto “Women Behind Power,” ECG WinE remains a beacon of excellence, driving progress within ECG and beyond.
