The Professional American Women's Club of Zurich (PAWZ) invites you to join Beyond the Astronaut: Women's Careers at NASA.

What does it take to launch and sustain some of the world’s most ambitious space missions? Join former NASA engineer Jody Dawson (Davis), former NASA project manager Judy Lai-Norling, and former NASA attorney Shari Feinberg for a panel discussion on the diverse careers that make space exploration possible. From engineering and mission management to legal and policy challenges, the conversation will highlight the many ways women contribute to NASA’s success — including the Artemis era and the future of lunar exploration.
