COR Report - June 2010

Mark Your Calendars!

WE10 – The Annual Conference for Women Engineers – Registration is Open!

WE10 is the largest and most comprehensive gathering of forward-thinking women engineers and technologists. Adding to the already high energy of WE10, the culmination of our year long SWE 60th Anniversary Celebration will provide inspiration and spike enthusiasm. Throughout the conference participants will experience numerous career-shaping opportunities, as well as draw from the energy of SWE’s strong past and promising future to launch innovation and define success.

2011 Region H Conference – Save the Date!
SWE Leadership Coaching

Are you interested in helping fellow professional members develop strong leadership skills, both in SWE and the professional world? If so, Region H is looking to increase the number of leadership coaches available to professional sections. SWE leadership coaches are trained by SWE and travel to sections to present leadership modules and training sessions. If you are interested in a coaching position, contact Elizabeth Bierman, FY10 Region H Governor, at ekbierman@yahoo.com.
Society and Region H FY10 Awards

Every year SWE-MN submits applications for Society and Regional awards for individuals and professional sections. This year, SWE-MN will apply for awards in career guidance, professional development, membership and communications on both the Society and Regional levels. Thanks to all of you who have put in the time and work that allows us to apply for, and hopefully win, these awards! SWE-MN will be nominating our own Alyse Stofer for the Region H Distinguished Service Award. Alyse has served as a SWE leader in many capacities and she is currently the SWE Director of Regions. SWE-MN will be nominating our own Jenna Rendon for the Region H Professional Emerging Leader Award. Jenna is currently serving in her second year as a SWE-MN section representative. Best of luck to Alyse and Jenna!
