Dallas SWE’s attendance at WE Local Detroit and WE Local Seattle was a great experience for our members. At WE Local in Detroit, held on February 17-18, our President, Rana Karimi, attended and delivered her talk on gender and negotiations. Rana’s expertise and engaging presentation captivated the audience, providing valuable insights and inspiration for women in engineering.
Additionally, we had three Dallas SWE members attend WE Local in Seattle on March 31-Apri 1. Our members showcased their knowledge and dedication to the engineering community. Notably, SWE is honored to recognize Dallas SWE Member, Ashley Johnson, for being awarded the WE Local FY23 Local New ELiTE Award. Ashley’s award honors SWE members with less than ten years of experiences in an engineering, engineering technology, or science related to engineering profession, who have demonstrated outstanding technical performance and proactively served SWE.
Additionally, at WE Local Seattle, our Secretary and Webmaster, Sammy Zellner, and our former VP of Membership, Claire Jordan, showcased their expertise by delivering insightful and thought-provoking presentations, leaving a lasting impact on the attendees. Sammy and Claire each presented two sessions, covering topics spanning from relocation, resume best practices, adulting 101, and email etiquette.
Dallas SWE’s presence at both WE Local Detroit and WE Local Seattle showcased the chapter’s commitment to professional development, SWE leadership, knowledge sharing, and empowering women in engineering. SWE conferences provide invaluable opportunities for our members to network, learn, and be recognized. We look forward to attending this year’s Annual conference in Los Angeles!
