Message from the President
Happy Holidays SWE Philadelphia,
As the year winds downs we tend to look back at year and reflect on our accomplishments and areas of improvements. Lucky for us, the fiscal year is only half over. We still have six months to improve upon our accomplishments. Will you join me in working toward an even better SWE Philadelphia?
I hope that if you haven’t attended a meeting yet that you will do so soon. We have a great line up of events for the remainder of the year. A tour of the Mars drink factory, The Science Behind Sunscreen, Spa day, Mini-Camp, SWE and Politics, GEARS Day, Social Media, Higher Education, Awards Brunch, Morris Arboretum Tour, and Motherhood Webinar.
For those of you that cannot travel to our meetings, our hope for the remainder of the year is to provide an alternate method of attending some of our events. Depending on the event location this could mean a conference call, skyping, or webinar/live meeting.
In keeping up with technology, we now have a LinkedIn group in addition to our Facebook page. Please take a few moments to join these groups as they serve as an additional resource of information for the section.
This year one of our goals is to raise $1000 for section funds. So far we raise just over 1/3 of our goal. At WE11, our section won $225 for placing 2nd place for Best Professional Website. Last month we had our first fundraising event at Iron Hill Brewery. We were successful is raising $164.30. Thanks to all that attended this event. In the upcoming weeks a member donation drive will be sent out, please take this time to make a donations to the Section that we can continue to provide scholarships and outreach funding. Also, be on the lookout for new merchandise in the Spring.
Wishing you a joyous Holiday Season and a Prosperous, Healthy New Year!
- Diana Madden
FY12 Section President
