FY19 Officers
Whether you are looking for a learning experience or are already good at it, we are looking for the FY 19 Treasurer and you could be the one.
You are also welcome to apply for other officers and chairs listed here on the 'Officers' page.
If you are interested or have questions, let us know asap - Contact Us.
Scholarship with Dissolved Region J Funds
The region board members and section representatives will review in February creating a scholarship to be administered by SWE HQ using remaining Region J funds. There are some region members who have pledged matching funds, if needed to meet the minimum funding amount required for an endowed scholarship. The region will need to define the eligibility criteria for the scholarship.
Elections
We need to elect the first 3-year term senator under the new governance structure. We will be using the SWE Leadership Competency Model that the Society has provided to vet candidates. Please submit any nominations to Lisa, the Region J Governor, for people who would do well in this role. We are also looking for committee members that would be willing to assist in vetting candidates. E-mail Lisa if you are interested.
