Message from Our President


Dear SWE Members;

I am honored to serve as Southeast Florida Society of Women Engineers Section President for the fiscal year of 2009. I’ve had the pleasure of working with our past President Eileen Velez-Vega and I’m happy that she is continuing to serve our section as Treasurer and our Region D Governor.

We have had two successful years after the reactivation of the Southeast Florida SWE Section. Our section has a successful turn out with our local Girl Scouts chapters. We are in the works for making our Broward event an Annual Event.

Our growing section was able to experience the Region D Conference in 2008, which was hosted by the University of Miami Collegiate Section.

I’m confident in our executive board of officers and our elected committee chairs that SWE will continue to fulfill participation and organization of events and activities for this year to come.

Our goals for this year are to continue and improve our outreach with Girl Scouts and community colleges, to increase membership, increase funding, and develop a scholarship fund for high school students and our collegiate members pursing engineering.

I look forward to meeting and working with each of you this year.

Sincerely,

Sari Tukiainen, E.I.T.
