Membership Solicitation Update: Members Supporting Our Programs

Throughout SWE Detroit’s 65 years, our membership has a history of women who were pioneers in their field. Today, we continue to have women who are making history. As one of the largest grassroots sections in SWE, the Detroit Section is able to provide several programs to support its local members, as well as opportunities for future engineers to explore their potential career paths:

 

• Professional development programs, such as the Professional Development Conference coming in Spring 2017
• Networking activities, either with special-interest groups from highly active employers, or at technical and social family friendly meetings
• Provide opportunities for elementary to middle school-aged girls to interact with female engineers and participate in activities/hands-on demonstrations to increase their exposure to science and technology careers through Girls Exploring Engineering (GEE)
   
  Our members truly help keep us in and encourage the younger generation to pursue engineering by donating their time or finances to support others make history or “her-story”. We want to take a mid-year minute to recognize those who have contributed financial support to our programs thus far in FY17 for our annual programs (see SWE 4 Life Endowed Scholarship Blog Post for Recognition of Support for that special program)
