Abstract

The IEEE Women in Engineering International Leadership Conference (ILC) 2025 was held in San Jose, California, in May 2025. Volunteers from the Power Electronics Society (PELS) Women in Engineering (WIE) Committee had the honor of attending and actively participating in this inspiring event. In this article, the authors reflect on their experiences at ILC 2025, highlighting key takeaways, personal growth, and strategies for implementing change within their local communities. This year, the IEEE Power Electronics Society proudly sponsored the conference and supported one of the invited session speakers through its newly established travel grant program. The recipient, also one of the authors of this article, Prof. Prerna Gaur from the NSUT Delhi (West Campus), contributed to the event with a powerful session on leadership and empowerment. The article also features highlights from the keynote addresses, along with reflections from the PELS WIE volunteers on recent initiatives within their local chapters.
