SWE TO HOLD CAPITOL HILL DAY MARCH 5-6, 2014
The SWE Government Relations and Public Policy (GRPP) Committee will once again be organizing a spring Congressional outreach day on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Please consider attending this event entitled, "Diversity and Inclusion Drives Innovation in STEM," which will be held on March 5-6, 2014. This event will increase awareness of the need for and the importance of increased diversity and inclusion in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce.
SWE is taking the lead in organizing this event, and is in the process of reaching out to other STEM organizations to solicit their interest in participating. SWE's 2014 Capitol Hill Day will begin promptly at 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 5, 2014 (there is an optional lunch at Noon), and conclude by 5:00 PM on Thursday, March 6, 2014. The meetings will be held at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, and in meeting rooms on Capitol Hill. This event is being made possible by a grant from the S.D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
More details are forthcoming. While there are no specific volunteer travel funds available for this event, some meals will be provided for attendees.
Please note: Space is limited, and reservations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. Geographic diversity will also be considered.
If you are interesting in participating or have any questions, please contact Paula Stenzler, GRPP Chair, at pstenzler@gmail.com.
