Networking

This month has been a whirlwind of events and networking. I've managed to meet so many talented and interesting professional women. It all started with the 2011 GWIC (Groundbreaking Women in Construction)conference in NYC. I'm now an active member in ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers), and will hopefully be working toward establishing a Diversity Committe for the Met section. I've volunteered as a professional mentor with EWB (Engineer's without Borders)...let's hope they accept me! I can also be found on engineergirl.org, a site focused on mentoring middle school girls about engineering. I joined EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association) at the urging of my mentor and supervisor...and am so glad I did! I also attended the Future Work Institute's "Gender Matters" networking event that taught me indeed, Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus!

Let's hope I don't run out of steam...
