RE: Call for Applicants for SWE - FY10 Collegiate Senator
___________________________________________________________________________________
Call for Applicants!
Are you interested in taking your SWE leadership to the next level? Do you want to make a difference in programs for collegiate members? If so, this is your opportunity to apply! You could be your region's next Collegiate Senator and serve on the SWE National Senate!
The Senator is a vital collegiate voice within the Region and to National leaders in SWE. The Collegiate Senator will help set the direction for the Society working with 2 Professional Senators from the 10 Regions, 2 International Senators, and 2 Special Senators. Senators will attend 2 face-to-face meetings each year: one at the National Conference and one in the spring in conjunction with the annual strategic plan review. In addition, Senators will participate on monthly conference calls and in online community discussions. Funding assistance for travel reimbursement to the spring meeting is available, with additional funding from each region being requested.
Plus, all Senators will be trained together to enhance regional cooperation and collaboration.
Both the Collegiate Senator and RCR/RCNE positions provide invaluable interaction and coaching from SWE leaders. These leadership opportunities sharpen your career skill-set in the areas of leading and facilitation, group dynamics and communication, and project leadership.
