AIKEN, S.C. – With a membership that has grown to 60 people, Savannah River Site employee resource group Women@LiquidWaste (W@LW) is celebrating one year of professional development, networking opportunities, and membership growth.

Since September 2018, Savannah River Remediation’s (SRR) W@LW has been helping employees enhance professional knowledge and experiences to strengthen leadership skills.

Membership in W@LW is open to employees of SRR, EM’s liquid waste contractor at SRS.
The group provides information, resources, and networking opportunities for women who aspire to be in leadership; desire to strengthen leadership abilities; and express interest in discussing workplace challenges for women.
