On December 8, 2020, Kimley-Horn hosted a virtual information session over lunch for its DFW area employees to learn more about the benefits of membership in professional engineering societies focused on diversity. In a panel discussion moderated by Kimley-Horn employees, leaders from NSBE DFW, SHPE DFW, and Dallas SWE discussed their experiences with the organizations and how they have been able to develop and refine a variety of skills that carry over into their careers. Community involvement, outreach and how the groups work together were also topics of conversation. After the group panel wrapped up with questions, attendees were invited to join breakout groups to learn more about the individual organizations and continue the discussion. With the panel discussion having over 100 attendees, this first corporate informational session was a huge success!
