The Society of Women Engineers strives to advance and honor the contributions of
women at all stages of their careers as well as recognize the successes of SWE
members, individuals, groups and companies who enhance the engineering profession
through contributions to industry, education and the community.
This year, SWE is honored to recognize Ashley Johnson for being awarded the WE
