SWE-CI Section Committees

Awards Committee

The Awards Committee works to recognize talent in the Central Illinois area and the talent within the Central Illinois SWE membership. The annual awards presented are for Distinguished Member and Outstanding Engineer.

Communication Committee

The Communication Committee provides timely and accurate information to members and friends regarding SWE-Central Illinois activities and events via several avenues: SWE-CI Website, Email, Google Calendar, SWE-CI Facebook Group Page, and SWE National Community Forum.

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is focused on attracting and retaining members of Central Illinois SWE.

Nominating Committee

The Nominating Committee coordinates the elections and appointments for the Executive Board each Spring.

Outreach Committee

The Outreach Committee provides outreach programs to K-12 grades, focusing on Engineering, Math, and Science activities. Events include E-Week experiments at Lakeview museum, mentoring at local schools, and Girls Scout Badge Days. We are always looking for volunteers!

Professional Development Committee

The Professional Development Committee strives to provide formal and informal networking opportunities for SWE members. Our goals reflect a concerted effort to help our colleagues learn and grow, both in their careers and in their personal lives.

Work-Life Balance Committee

The Work-Life Balance Committee seeks to involve members who do not usually attend Professional Development meetings, create social networking events for our members, and help retain SWE membership for those members who were starting a family by offering family-friendly events.
