Shatter the Glass Ceiling

Hello to all those semi-interested in joining this server!

We've recently upped our moderation with bots and people! We now have a co-leader who helps corral the STEM ladies, while I still keep the construction ladies in line. We have areas for those just getting started to mingle, for those simply interested/curious, and a general place for us to congregate!

A calendar channel has also sprung up to post new events. We've had a few Jackbox game nights, which is a nice way to relax and get to know each other. Here's tipping my hat to you, banana wrangler, lol. We are always on the look out for one off events, as well as reoccurring ones!

On a professional note, I have been taking an online course in "Women in Leadership", which is free online if you audit the class from Coursea. I would love to have people interested in that, so I have someone (or two) to talk about it with. We've also started recently looking for tutors/mentors for our newer in the field members. With Covid being in the mix, we are also scouting a webinar or two that would be great if we could attend.

Lastly, most of us are from North America and we would love some people from further time zones to interact with our ridiculous night owls. If you are interested in responsibility or a role, there are many positions within the server to fill. Let me know about your role preferences and talents we can utilize!

This post may bounce from new idea to other new idea, but a lot of positive growth has risen from this server. We hope to see those interested in this server and what it has to offer and we look forward to discussing many topics and seeing what's important to you as well as how we can help!

1. We took everyone's suggestions and opened this server to all male-dominated fields that we women work in. The struggles we face in the STEM fields are just as important as those in the trades. The layout and the channels of the server will be changing this weekend. Remember, we have the server suggestion channel for a reason! This community will continue to grow and better itself as time goes on.

2. This server is going to reach out to organizations and non-profits in the near future that relate to our ever growing community. Our goal is to offer this server as a resource to the women these potential contacts reach.

3. Current Positions available:

-Looking for a STEM lead moderator (Will start to take applications soon)

-Looking for general mods (Will start to take applications soon)

-Looking for greeters! (Will get special role with a name/color you choose)

-Looking for those who want to help advertise by getting the word out, with ads, word of mouth, networking, etc. (can give ad templates I have)

-Finding RELATABLE partnerships for the server, DM me if you do

-Looking for someone who is interested in creating a logo. DM me if you do {position filled}

-Looking for those who want to host virtual events on this server

-Server bumper (would give you link and access) this helps keep the server visible when people search for new servers to join.

-Editor (Update the server on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis) Here and on a few other websites. Can bump as well.

-Manager: would have same abilities as bumper/editor, but also can add members as editors and bumpers.

On a last note, special thanks to the members who attended the evening VC event to brainstorm and get to know each other more! I loved hearing your stories and input.
