Results of an online survey conducted by the International Network of Women in Emergency Management for the 2010 IAEM conference. Survey results discuss size, diversity and support for Emergency Management professionals, including the availability of mentoring and development programs.

1. INWEM Gender and
Diversity Survey
Prepared for IAEM 2010

2. Notes
 This is not a scientific survey and there are
some design flaws. Known flaws:
 USA centric questions
 A couple of confusing questions
 Diversity questions were added late
 Participants were limited to those people
who had access to the Internet. No paper
surveys were used.
 Hopefully this will become an annual
survey and next year will be more
scientific!
