The Power of Community
Success is rarely a solo journey. The biggest breakthroughs, the most meaningful achievements – they almost always come from a group of people supporting, challenging, and pushing each other forward. This is especially true for women in the chemical industry.
Last month, I participated in my first event as Executive Director, and I saw first-hand how more and more women are driving change, finding their voices, and carving out spaces for themselves to lead. They’re making waves, not just because of capability – but because there is a growing community of women and allies in the chemical industry boldly influencing the change.
Being bold doesn’t always mean making huge, dramatic moves. Most of the time, it’s the smaller, everyday actions that make the biggest impact. Asking a question in a meeting when no one else does. Offering to lead a project. Reaching out to someone new at a networking event. Advocating for a colleague. Negotiating a higher salary. These moments, small as they seem, build change and community over time.
I first learned to be bold at 10 years old. Back then, I would confidently call my family’s internet service provider and negotiate for extended free trials, and the provider would
accept. Why I was never questioned about my age or authority is probably a different story, but what it taught me was to be bold, and always ask, “Why not?”
It’s the same mindset and approach Amelia Greene and Kylie Wittl have had while building Women in Chemicals. More than four years ago, they asked themselves, “Why not?” as Women in Chemicals was first launched. And with each planned and unplanned milestone, including a sold out inaugural conference, they continued to ask, “Why not?”.
I’ve had many, “Why not?” moments since those early days where I asked for free internet. My most pivotal moment came in 2024 when I approached Amelia and Kylie about applying for the role of Executive Director. I had to remind myself to be bold and answer every opposing thought with, “Why not?”
As a lifetime non-profit and association professional, I knew I had the operational experience, but without the direct experience of working for a chemical company, would I be the right candidate?
Sure, I had built my chemical industry acumen and network at SOCMA – a specialty chemical trade association, and knew how to build out programs and infrastructure, but was Women in Chemicals ready to transition to a different type of leadership?
I fully recognized that my concerns were normal and my community reminded me that these were signs of being a thoughtful and service-oriented leader.
They also reminded me that over time, life experiences tend to erode our ability to be bold out of fear. Fear of failure, fear of the unknown, and fear of judgment.
I knew that to further make an impact on my own career and influence others, I had to take the leap to showcase my potential as the next Women in Chemicals Executive Director.
Simply asking myself the question, “Why not?” created a space to feel the fear, acknowledge the obstacles and push forward regardless.
While my journey as Executive Director has just begun, the future of the chemical industry is changing, and Women in Chemicals is playing a huge role in that shift by amplifying voices, providing professional development and creating a peer-based community for women to thrive and be unapologetically bold.
Whether it’s through mentorship, leadership development, or simply providing a space where women can be heard, the Women in Chemicals Community is opening countless doors.
Next time you’re faced with a decision, I ask that you turn to your community, be bold, and ask, “Why not?”. There’s no limit to what can be achieved.
Amber Thichangthong Executive Director Women in Chemicals
Gaining momentum
WIC’s annual Conversation with the Co-founders webinar celebrated another exceptional year
Reflecting on yet another landmark year for the organization, a recent fireside chat with Women in Chemicals co-founders, Amelia Greene and Kylie Wittl, recapped the many accomplishments of 2024 and looked to the future with key updates about current and planned programs.
The past year has seen Women in Chemicals almost double the number of women among its membership and significantly increase the companies represented. It now also has more than 15,000 followers on LinkedIn.
Just four years since the organization was founded, it is recognized across the globe as a platform that gives its community a voice in an industry where it is still sometimes hard to be heard.
“We now boast over 5,200 women members from over 700 different companies, and we have truly become a global organization with membership in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific,” said Greene
during the session. “Women in Chemicals boasts members on every single continent – except for Antarctica – at this point. It’s very exciting to see the growth.”
The leadership team has expanded significantly too, with several new

appointments including Amber Thichangthong, WIC’s newly appointed Executive Director and its first full-time employee.
Going global
In 2024, WIC arranged 11 panel discussions and 27 webinars focused on personal and professional development, as well as arranging 14 in-person events across North America, Latin America, and Europe.
Of course, a particular highlight was WIC’s inaugural Conference from September 9-11 in Houston, Texas (see page 26), which attracted nearly 400 attendees from over 125 companies.
“Our first ever conference was a soldout success and had a waitlist of people wanting to join us, which we’ll hopefully see in our second annual conference this year in 2025,” said Wittl.
In October, WIC hosted its first ever in-person event in Europe – a reception at the Annual Meeting of EPCA in Berlin, Germany. Such was its success that plans

are already underway to return to EPCA again later this year.
“The turnout was fantastic,” continued Greene. “It was really special to have boots on the ground in Europe for the first time and to get to meet so many of our European members that we haven't had the opportunity to meet face to face with.”
A month later, members of WIC’s team were also in attendance at APLA, the annual Latin American Petrochemical Meeting in Cartagena, Columbia. It included a panel discussion produced and moderated in Spanish by Christie Luna, WIC’s Membership Chair, and was followed by a networking reception.
Team building
In addition to welcoming Thichangthong as Executive Director, another six members were added to the now 19-strong leadership team in 2024: Pooja Aggarwal as Conference Marketing Coordinator; Stephanie Folkmire as Conference Chair; Sandeep Kaur as Mentorship Program Coordinator, Linda Madden as Sponsorship Coordinator; Vera-Maria Pitot as Sponsorship Chair; and Jessica Quearry as Finance Chair.
Greene has also taken on a new role as Director of Corporate Partnerships and will focus on identifying ways to partner with other industry organizations and encourage further growth and exposure for WIC. The leadership team always meets once a quarter, including an offsite event that provides an opportunity to connect with one another, strategize, and review the year.
“The offsite is such an awesome opportunity for us to check in on how we are building the foundation of Women in Chemicals,” said Wittl. “It also just reaffirms that these are our true core values, and we see that in our leadership team and then that carries through our members and our programming, and
how we operate as a team.”
Among the special moments of the most recent offsite was the presentation of WIC’s Core Value Awards, which recognize individuals’ outstanding contributions. This year, Julie Cava, Marketing Chair, received the Serve Selflessly award; Jordan Riddle, Programs Coordinator, was the recipient of Act with Courage & Conviction award; with the Inspire & Empower award going to Christie Luna, Membership Chair.
WIC also presented an award for Most Valuable Woman to Christine Grybos for her huge contribution in helping to grow the organization and specifically, for piloting and launching the successful mentorship program. At the end of Q2 2024, Grybos was named WIC’s Programs Director and onboarded newly appointed Kasia Jankowska as the new Mentorship Chair.
Together, they have seen the program go from strength to strength, overseeing the emergence of the first mentorship cohort in October. This past year, there were a total of 103 participants.
Other key achievements in 2024 included the expansion of the Careers in Chemicals Student’s Education and Awareness Program.
“There were so many moments in 2024 that were kind of ‘pinch me’ moments for me,” said Greene. “When we started Women in Chemicals, we never meant to start a business. We were really just trying to solve our own problem of wanting a peer network and wanting access to female leaders who we could aspire to be. And somehow along the way, through the help of so many incredible people on our leadership team, our advisory boards, and volunteers who have given their time and energy to help us succeed, we've gotten to where we are now.”

Meeting expectations
After a sold-out conference last fall, Women in Chemicals is looking to make this year’s event bigger and better than before
The sold-out inaugural WIC Conference in September 2024 saw 380 women from 120 different companies across the globe unite to share stories, learn from one another, and leave inspired with actionable takeaways.
For WIC’s leadership team, those two and a half days in Houston, Texas, felt almost surreal, admits Stephanie Folkmire, WIC’s Conference Chair.
“It was incredible to see all these women who are all at different points in their career and with different job titles and roles come together, interact, and listen to the inspirational words of our speakers,” she says.
Women in Chemicals’ Conference meets an unmet need; it’s a safe space with an amazing sense of community

Rob Greer
“Women in Chemicals’ Conference meets an unmet need; it’s a safe space with an amazing sense of community. I felt such strong connections with so many people I never even met before,” continues Folkmire. “I didn’t feel uncomfortable sitting next to a stranger because I knew she was probably feeling exactly the same as me.”
“It can sometimes feel very lonely and isolating when you’re at a meeting and you’re one of the only women there,” she says. “For me and many others, this was the first conference we’d been to that was completely female focused.”
As a volunteer at last year’s event, Jordan Riddle, WIC’s Programs Coordinator, had her own unique perspective behind the scenes. From manning the registration desk to coordinating all the speakers and ensuring everything ran smoothly, she saw firsthand the incredible enthusiasm and energy shared by everyone there.
“Being able to have casual conversations with somebody you
didn’t know yesterday was such an amazing feeling,” she says. “WIC’s Conference really gives you the confidence to showcase yourself and be authentically you.”
“Even though it’s a huge event with almost 400 other women there, our community is such a close-knit group that you instantly feel that you know so many people there,” she adds.
“When you’re at an event like this, you recognize so many faces that are already familiar to you – having seen them in our webinars, the Woman of the Week podcasts, or our book club.”
The program included more than 20 impactful education sessions, two keynotes, and professional development workshops – where experts and inspirational leaders discussed industryspecific topics and offered their guidance, advice, and expertise.
In addition, there were plenty of opportunities to relax and share memorable moments with newfound friends, colleagues, and peers. There
were workout classes, meditation sessions, cowgirl hat crafting, as well as informal happy hour catchups in the evenings. The WICares Community Service Activity also proved popular as volunteers helped the Chemical Educational Foundation create interactive science kits, ready to be presented to the state winners of its flagship You Be The Chemist Challenge® for students in grades 5-8.
No matter the stage of your career or the position you hold, the conference truly had something for everyone.
Building on the fantastic momentum from last year, the team now has ambitions to welcome more than 500 attendees to the next event at the Loews Chicago Downtown Hotel in Chicago, Illinois from September 3-5, 2025.
“This event is all about being able to show up and feel authentic without having to hide behind a mask or worry about what people are going to say or think,” says Amber Thichangthong, WIC’s newly appointed Executive Director and first full-time staff. “It’s a professional, supportive environment with a really positive energy throughout.”
“Only 30% of the chemical industry is currently represented by women and a lot of the conferences are very business and sales focused. Ours is a very organic type of meeting with topics focused on industry issues as well as personal and professional development,” she adds.
Planning is now in the advanced stages, with some fantastic programming focused on empowerment, careers, and the importance of male allyship and the role men can play in positively impacting women in the workplace. This year’s agenda will also look to increase technical representation, touching more on innovation and market trends. Another area of focus will be asking what can be done to help shift the often-negative perception of chemicals and the stigma attached to this important industry.

career, will focus on building awareness and developing essential skills. This includes keynotes on developing your own unique brand and identity in the workplace; how to navigate career shifts and transition into new roles; and proven strategies for creating powerful relationships and effective networks.
For attendees who are a little more established and in the mid-career stage, topics will explore how to become a better – and more empathetic – leader; how to manage these high-pressure roles more effectively and achieve a better work-life balance; as well as learning how to communicate with confidence and ensure your voice is always heard.
Executive-level professionals, meanwhile, can instead benefit from more advanced sessions that provide the opportunity to hone their leadership skills and decision making. This includes a senior leadership roundtable and panel discussions to share ideas, innovate, and grow.
Other highlights will include a chance to hear from the newly crowned Woman of the Year and enjoy a little downtime during the evening receptions, sunrise workouts, and the return of the community service event.
“The Women in Chemicals conference isn’t just an event – it’s an opportunity to reenergize, expand your knowledge, and connect with those who inspire you in the chemical industry,” says Thichangthong. “This really is the only place you can see women from other chemical companies come together as a unit to learn from each other and connect. We want this to become one of the industry’s must attend events.”
