Founded in 2011 by a group of local women, Seattle Space Gals began as a vibrant initiative to unite women and gender minorities in the Seattle aerospace sector through informal gatherings. Today, we’re proud to represent a dynamic community of nearly a hundred members, encompassing professionals from both the corporate sphere and academia.

Our Mission: Seattle Space Gals is dedicated to empowering women and gender minorities who are either established in or aspiring to join the space industry. We offer a supportive environment, rich with resources and networking opportunities.

What We Do: Our events are designed to inspire and connect. Members have the unique opportunity to meet and interact with influential figures in the industry, thereby expanding their professional network beyond the workplace.

Highlights from Our Past Events:

• Exclusive NewSpace Conference breakfast featuring Debra Facktor Lepore from Ball Aerospace.
• An insightful industry expert panel organized for the Seattle Girls School.
• An intimate dinner engagement with Virgin Galactic’s Loretta Hidalgo Whitesides.
• Spearheading Space Camp scholarship fundraising initiatives for local girls.
• Numerous social gatherings, including happy hours and cocktail parties – because we believe in balancing professionalism with fun!
