FY20 Planning Meeting - August 17, 2019 from 12-3pm
SWE Boston Members!
There are 3 Committees in SWE Boston: Professional Development (PD), K-12 Outreach, and Membership. Every August, SWE Boston hosts 3 separate planning meetings with each committee to plan all of our events for the upcoming fiscal year FY20 (July 1 - June 30).
This year we're going to break the cycle! Instead of 3 separate meetings, we will host 1 big Joint Planning Meeting between all 3 teams. Don't miss out! If you ever had ideas about how SWE Boston should impact the community, this is where you can bring it!
Light lunch will be provided to attendees.
