Open Positions- Volunteers Needed!
Are you interested in becoming active within our section? The below positions are open and we are actively seeking volunteers. Please email us if interested.
Scholarship Committee Co-Chair
Bridget Dixon will be the Committee Chair but is expecting her second child in April so we are seeking a Co-Chair to help her and to see the program across the finish line in May.
The Chair is responsible for overseeing all members of the Scholarship Committee, and
ensuring all tasks are completed in a timely manner to provide smooth execution of the
Scholarship Reception. This includes scheduling and facilitating Committee Meetings,
maintaining schedule and budget limits, fostering an inclusive and cohesive committee, and
troubleshooting any complications along the way. The chair is responsible for assisting and
filling in any gaps of the committee members, if needed. The chair is also responsible for a large
speaking part in the reception script. Overall, the Chair is the project manager of the scholarship
program, overseeing all operations and making sure we keep with schedule.
Outreach Chair
The Outreach Chair serves as the main point of contact regarding the section’s outreach activities not including the scholarship program. They also are responsible for leading the coordination of those activities.

The event was held at Jamesville Beach County Park and attended by the recipients, their families, representatives of their schools, our sponsors, and SWE members.
