Earlier this year the formation of the Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group was approved by IEEE head quarters. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who supported the petition and helped with the formation.
With this formation, I would like to welcome you all to the first IEEE Hamilton WIE General meeting. We will have a chance to meet, socialize, and brainstorm some ideas for future WIE events. I have some ideas I would like to share with you, and would love to hear your ideas. This is a casual event, so come out, meet some members and have some fun. Some light refreshments and appetizers will be provided.
