October 27th through the 29th, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA), in partnership with the Maritime Administration (MARAD), will host the fifth annual Women on the Water (WOW) Conference in Buzzards Bay, MA.

Follow up:

The Conference will bring together cadets from the Federal and State Merchant Marine Academies with professional women and men who are leaders in different sectors of the maritime industry. The event will be an excellent opportunity for the cadets to learn about the exciting careers that are open to them directly from successful women and men, as well as to hear about current issues affecting the maritime industry. This is also an excellent opportunity for the cadets and professional women and men alike to meet and network with others in the maritime industry.
