Vice President Professional Development Committees
Programs
The nucleus of the Baltimore-Washington
Section is the monthly membership meeting
These meetings are monthly and are generally held on the third Wednesday
or Thursday of each month and address topics ranging from science and
engineering to professional development to career experiences of women in the
engineering profession. In
addition to contributing to the professional development of women engineers,
the monthly membership meetings offer an excellent forum to network with women
from varying backgrounds with diverse interests. The programs committee should consist of at least two
members, one living in Virginia/DC and the other in Maryland.
Seminars
In addition to the membership meetings,
in-depth seminars on various topics are provided twice a year (one in the Fall
and one in the Spring). The topics
of the seminars include both professional and personal development for our
members.
Social
The Baltimore-Washington Section's social
program fosters networking with women engineering professionals in an informal
and relaxed setting. Specific activities include technical tours, outings to
Camden Yards and the Kennedy Center, and seasonal socials. The Social committee should consist of
at least two members, one living in Virginia/DC and the other in Maryland. A minimum of three social activities
should be planned, one each in MD, VA, and DC.

informal and relaxed setting.
