Event

Time:
2:30pm – 3:30pm (GMT)

KBR’s Employee Resource Group, ASPIRE, recognizes and celebrates International Women’s Day every year. This year we are using our ability to work virtually as an opportunity for chapters around the world to host a virtual global panel session that celebrates the achievements of women who work with and for KBR. We are all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day every day, and we can #choosetochallenge and call out gender bias and inequity. We can choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements and collectively we can create an inclusive world.

Hosting the panel is Reem Seraj, KBR’s Saudi Vision 2030 Realization Manager, who plays an active role in the Saudi community. Reem also established the KBR special needs program, where we employed three Saudi females who are deaf and mute along with a translator to work with and help support them to grow their skills.
