SWE: Judging of the SWE Strategic Communication Award
Interested in reading what other sections have accomplished around public
relations and communications?? Then judging this year's Strategic
Communication submissions is for you!!!
I am looking for interested and / or willing individuals to help judge this
year's Strategic Communication submissions. I have received
submissions from the following sections:
Small:
Pikes Peak
Wichita
Medium:
Sierra Foothills
Southwest Texas
Minnesota
Orange County
Space Coast
Large:
New Jersey
Santa Clara Valley
Chicago
Detroit
It is pretty simple.... I will send a copy of each of the above to you. I
have a form made up that you check off as you read through them to ensure
that they have included certain items. Then for each category (S, M, L) you
rank them in order of most deserving to least of receiving an award.
When you are complete you send me your ranking and I do the rest. I need 4
judges besides myself. The only exception is if you are a member of any of
the sections listed above I don't think it would appropriate for you to
judge. Please let me know in the next couple of days if you are interested
and able to help.
Thanks!

Subject: interview for trade magazine article ...
I am writing an article about engineering/technical opportunities being
created in the energy/power industry because of the power problems that
started out West and seem to be threatening other areas of the country, too.
If you have someone in your association who can give me an idea of which
engineering needs might be growing in the energy/power industry, I would
like to hear from them to conduct a brief phone interview. At very least, I
would like to receive their thoughts via e-mail, but a phone call is
preferred.
The national publication is "Graduating Engineer & Computer Careers,"
published by CASS Communications in Evanston, Ill. I am a freelance writer
based in California.
My deadline for the completed article is May 15, so I ask for a response
before then.
Thank you.

Immediately following, there will be a social hour with relevant exhibits

===========================================
The 12th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES)
will be held in Ottawa, Canada July 27-31, 2002. Since there will not be a
SWE Annual Conference held in June that year, SWE members might want to
consider heading north to attend the tri-annual ICWES Conference instead.
This is a unique opportunity to hear the results of research and activities
related to women in science and engineering from around the world and to
share personal experiences with colleagues from different nations and
cultures.
ICWES registration material will soon be available. The Call for Papers has
been issued. Paper summaries are due July 15, 2001, with
papers/posters/panels due October 1, 2001. More complete information can be
found on the Conference home page, located at http:/www.icwes12.org.
The Conference is considering holding a golf tournament. To help make their
decision about it, they have asked for an indication of how many people
might attend if one were offered. If you are thinking of attending the
Conference and would be interested in participating in a golf tournament,
please let me know by May 15 so I can pass the information on to the
organizers. Also, please let me know if you have any questions about ICWES
in general or the ICWES 12 Conference in particular. I hope a number of you
will be able to attend. The last ICWES to be held in North America was in
1984, as part of the Convention held in Washington, DC, and the timing could
not be better for the US women to attend.
