Westside Networking Event!
Please join us for drinks and dinner at Johnny Malloy's http://www.johnnymalloys.com/ourlocations/lakewood.aspx in Lakewood on Thursday, February 18th. RSVP is requested to advise the restaurant in advance, but not required. So, if your plans change at the last minute, please don't hesitate to attend! This event will start at 5:30 p.m. We will keep the same format to join for cocktails only (5:30 - 6:30 p.m.) or to join us and stay for dinner (6:30 p.m. - ?).
Due to the large geographical area of the Northeast Ohio Society of Women Engineers (SWE) professional section, small group meetings have been initiated to increase member interaction and involvement. Based on the success of the Akron/Canton networking dinners, we are now launching a similar monthly meeting in the Cleveland area. If you interested in attending future gatherings, please let us know so that you can be added to our Cleveland Area Networking distribution list. We hope to see you soon!
Akron/Canton Monthly Dinners
Due to the large geographical area of the Northeast Ohio Society of Women Engineers (SWE) professional section, small group meetings have been initiated to increase member interaction and involvement. Since August 2007, professionals from the Akron/Canton area have been gathering for dinner once a month at various local restaurants. This is an excellent atmosphere for small group networking and allows for open discussions… it is also a great time and a nice break after work just to hang out! If you are interested in joining the Akron/Canton monthly dinners, please contact Lisa Rimpf (Lisa.Rimpf@swe.org).

Other local groups will be getting started shortly. Contact Virginia Brandt (Virginia.Brandt@swe.org) if you would like to participate.
Are you a licensed engineer and/or surveyor?
Your SWE chapter is looking at presenting short workshops that can be used to fulfill professional development hours (PDHs) that are now required by the state of Ohio.
It’s your turn to help with some information. Please email us at NEOHIO_SWE_WEB@hotmail.com with answers to the following:
- Is this something you would be interested in and would attend?
- We are considering two locations for this event: one in the southern part or our region (Akron/Canton) and one in the northern part (perhaps downtown Cleveland). Which is better for you? How far would you travel to attend this event?
- What topics would you like to see addressed?
- What type of forums would you prefer (discussion, more like a classroom, role-playing, other)?
- What speakers can you suggest for your topic(s)? Keep in mind that national speakers tend to charge for their time — that will affect what you pay for the seminar.
- What times are good for you (breakfast meetings, all day on a week day, all day on a weekend, evenings (6-8, 6-9, 7-10, ?), other)?
For additional information of Ohio PDHs for PEs and PSs, please see: http://ohiopeps.org/ and http://ohiopeps.org/cpd/4733.151.html Thank you for your input!
