Upcoming Openings

The Nominating Committee, once formed, will be accepting nominations for all board positions and administering elections in the spring.

PDH Seminar
In December SWE members and colleagues joined us over zoom for a PDH seminar. The presentation topic was "Recent Drinking Water Design Projects in the CNY Region" and was presented by two young engineers from B&L, Olivia Hicklen and Jessica Martine. Thank you, ladies, for the excellent presentations and thank you everyone who attended.
Scholarship Reception
In May we held our 31st Annual Scholarship Reception. Four talented young women from the greater Syracuse area were recognized and presented with scholarships. 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.
Jewelry Demonstration
In February SWE members and friends were treated to a virtual demonstration of how a stone is set and how a ring is resized. Technical aspects, such as materials and methods used, were discussed throughout. A recording of this demonstration can be found here.

Together they have a business creating beautiful jewelry and educating people about the materials and methods used in the process.
