The SEG Women's Network Committee (WNC) had a successful and event-filled 2016 Annual Meeting in Dallas, Texas. The WNC events began 17 October with the inaugural WNC Networking Event. Maitri Erwin, WNC chair, described the origins of the committee, which was established in 2011 to raise awareness of and find solutions for the challenges women encounter in the field of applied geophysics. The committee objectives are to: encourage more participation and leadership by women in applied geophysics worldwide; create a community for mutual support among female SEG members; enhance recruiting and retention of women in the profession and mentoring of students and young professionals; and elevate awareness of the value of a diverse workforce in the profession.
