SWE Greatland Kick-Off Meeting

Thanks to those that came to our kick-off meeting! It was good to see all the old faces and meet the new. We encourage new faces to learn about the section, see how you can benefit from SWE, and volunteer. We are constantly looking for suggestions on how to be a better section, so we appreciate your feedback! The meeting was held during lunch today since it was requested that we try lunch meetings as it may be more convenient for our members. It was a casual potluck meeting with ice breakers, information on SWE Greatland and what we have planned for the fiscal year, and prizes. It was a good time by all and we hope to see everyone again next month!

In Loving Memory - Trish Opheen

As many of you know, we lost one of our own recently. Patricia (Trish) Opheen died on Thursday, August 18th. Trish was our Engineer of the Year in 2006. She most recently participated in our Lessons Learned panel in May. Several of us attended her memorial service. It was sad and beautiful and extremely well attended - a testament to the impact Trish had on this community. Trish was an amazing woman and engineer. She will be greatly missed.
