Dallas SWE held the Kickoff Event on September 16th, 2023 at Yard House in Addison. We welcomed new and old Dallas SWE members while we talked about Dallas SWE’s upcoming events and plans for FY24.
Cyonna (VP of Outreach) and Rana (President) had a chance to talk about upcoming Outreach and Professional Development events, as well as exciting things to look out for like WE23 in LA and opportunities to join Dallas SWE committees. DYW will be on March 2nd this year, and the Outreach Committee is planning various mini DYWs throughout the year to keep the momentum going! One of the upcoming Professional Development events will be Shelley’s talk regarding advancing in SWE and other various volunteering and leadership opportunities at a society level. In addition, Ashley (Book Club Lead) talked about upcoming Book Club meetings and Meena (VP of Membership) shared the upcoming Fall Social at Cottonwood Park. Finally, to keep in touch in between events, join the Slack! We will be posting up monthly meetups and it is a great platform to ask questions and share thoughts!
All attendees had the chance to introduce themselves and talk to one another over a great meal. It was a great opportunity to connect with people after the summer!
Overall, the event was a successful start to FY24, and Yard House was an extremely accommodating venue. We hope to see everyone at more Dallas SWE Events in the future!
