Tested by Crisis: Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy
Report Launch
- 11:30 AM ET - 12:30 PM ET
- Virtual
Making the nuclear policy community a more gender equitable place can be slow and challenging work, but the global pandemic that shut down offices around the world just a few months into 2020 has been a unique challenge.
Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy (GCNP) is a leadership network focused on advancing gender equity in the nuclear policy community, bringing together heads of organizations who recognize doing so as a mission-critical priority.
Join NTI and representatives of the GCNP network for the launch of a new report tracking the initiative’s progress in 2020, “Tested by Crisis: Gender Champions in Nuclear Policy,” and a conversation about how Gender Champions have put principled leadership to the test during a pandemic.
