Dallas SWE has once again demonstrated its commitment to professional development and leadership in the engineering community through our participation at multiple WELocal Conferences. This year, our members actively participated in various WELocal conferences, sharing their knowledge and continuing to build relationships at these collaborative events.
WE Local conferences are designed to bring the excitement, energy, and learning environment of SWE’s annual conference—WE Conference—directly to local communities. These events provide opportunities for networking, professional development, and sharing of technical knowledge in a more intimate setting.
Dallas SWE members attended WE Local conferences in multiple cities, including:
- WELocal Las Vegas
- WELocal Wichita
Our members took advantage of the numerous networking opportunities, engaging with fellow engineers, industry leaders, and students. These interactions have not only expanded their professional networks but also fostered a greater sense of community and collaboration within the SWE organization.
Several Dallas SWE members were selected to present their work and share their expertise at these conferences. Their presentations covered a wide range of topics, showcasing the diverse talents and knowledge within our chapter. Highlights include:
- Nicole Anklam – “Become a Mega Star: An Intro to Megawatt Charging” presented at WELocal Vegas
- Rana Karimi – “Negotiating Your Worth in a Male Dominated Field” presented at WELocal Vegas
- Shelley Stracener – “Survive and Thrive Through SWE Leadership”- presented at WELocal Vegas
- Claire Jordan – “Send the !@#$ Email: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome as Young Engineers” presented at WELocal Vegas
- Barbara Read & Claire Jordan – ““Let’s Grow up and retire those stereotypes about age!” presented at WELocal Wichita
Dallas SWE remains committed to supporting our members in their professional journeys. We encourage all members to consider presenting at upcoming events and to take advantage of the myriad learning and networking opportunities that these conferences offer.
Congratulations to all our presenters and attendees for their outstanding contributions and for representing Dallas SWE with such distinction!
