Regional Update By Paula McDonald
As we wind down our FY15 SWE year, I first want to thank all of leaders for the section for all they have done and achieved this year. And I welcome and congratulate our leaders for FY16. I look forward to working with all of you!
Some big news is our Society Senate approved a new logo, see below. This more modern pattern and color scheme will now replace the traditional "green and gold" gear pattern. Our Aspire‐Advance‐Achieve statement remains unchanged.
We also completed elections for the FY16 Region Council, congratulations to our new leaders:
x Region Governor: Brittney Elko x Lt. Governor: Jessica Kiefer x Secretary: Marta Wicke x Treasurer: Laura Ashley Harris x Senator: Pearl Yamaguchi x Region Collegiate Representative (RCR): Jaclyn
Bronner x Region Collegiate Communications Editor (RCCE):
Amanda Lagasca x Region Collegiate Senator (RCS): Victoria Wee
It's never too early to think and plan for the Annual Conference, this year in Nashville October 22‐24, 2015. I am honored and excited to have been selected among 800 entries to present my session, Momgineering 101: My First Two Years In Motherhood + Engineering. I have taken my experience from the Region conference and will be refreshing my charts and message for the "big show." Can't wait! If you are interested in the conference and would like more information, never hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. Meanwhile, I have to say Nashville is one of my favorite places to visit and I know this year's conference will be outstanding as always.
Thanks again for such a spectacular FY15 and here's to another in FY16!
