Register now for the Women’s Energy Network Luncheon: Trade and Tariffs: A Closer Look at Chemical Markets Sept 18, 2025 – Houston
U.S. chemical markets are evolving once again with tariffs and trade policy at the center of this change. Add in a hurricane season that is predicted to be active, and the risk to chemical supply chains builds. These forces are creating new challenges and opportunities for the U.S.’ position in the global ethylene and propylene markets. Navigating these factors in the short term will define the competitiveness of the U.S. for years to come.

Support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with WENH!
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Women’s Energy Network Houston is collecting new art supplies for the Texas Children’s Cancer and Hematology Center at our September 18 luncheon.
Since quality, safety, and infection control are critical to their patients’ care, they require that all donations be new items. Coloring books, crayons, glue sticks, and seasonal craft kits are always excellent donations. Pre-packaged craft kits for use at the bedside are also appreciated; examples include activity booklets, door hangers, paper bag puppets, or seasonal crafts. Crayons must be non-toxic, and the Crayola brand is preferred.
Our donations will support The Periwinkle Arts in Medicine Program, which provides fun and educational children’s art projects to encourage the development of coping skills in children with cancer and blood disorders.
WEN encourages our members to get involved with and support the communities in which they live and work. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
