With a strong focus on youth, the future workforce, and women, LEWAS champions initiatives that promote training, mentorship, workshops, and impactful content for both women and men in energy.

At its core, The Multiplier Effect for Diversity and Inclusion demonstrates how diverse leadership and inclusive workplaces create a ripple effect—fueling innovation, collaboration, and long-term success. LEWAS continues to transform workplace culture while celebrating outstanding individuals who are shaping the future of the energy industry.
