President's Welcome Message for the SWE-Boston Web Site

Welcome to the SWE Boston website! The Boston Section of the Society of Women Engineers is one of the founding sections of the Society and one of the largest, so I'm honored and excited to serve as the SWE Boston President for 2011-2012.

FY12 has already started off with a bang. Our Wow! That's Engineering! Chair, Damaris Sarria, organized an exciting and fun event for 6th to 8th grade girls from around the Boston area at the Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts. Approximately 100 girls split into various workshops and with the help of 40 volunteers put together airplanes, made thumb pianos, mixed lip balm, and learned about invisible forces. Thank you to all of our sponsors, organizers, and volunteers for making this event such a success!

Throughout the year, SWE Boston holds various events from Outreach to Professional Development to Social/Networking events. A great way to stay abreast of our upcoming events and to support our efforts is to become a member: Join SWE Now!

I hope to see all of you at an event this year!

Respectfully,
Sarah R. Jones
SWE Boston President
