 Conference presents numerous opportunities for networking WCES Banquet and AwardSunday, February 20th, 2011The Wichita Section of SWE is proud to announce that Allison Wright is the first ever recipient of the Wichita Council of Engineering Societies (WCES) Allison Wright Award for Outstanding Young Engineer. The award was presented to her at the annual WCES banquet on February 17, 2011.
Established in 1989 and made up of 23 professional and technical engineering societies, WCES has a common goal of promoting engineering and engineering in the community. Each year the council presents its Engineering Service Award to an individual who best exemplifies the engineering profession through volunteer service. Allison was nominated for this award in 2011. Upon reviewing her nomination package, the awards committee realized that they had no vehicle specifically designated to reward young engineers. The previous recipients of the Engineering Service Award were all more experienced members of the community. Thus, WCES decided to create the Allison Wright Award for Outstanding Young Engineer. In naming it after Allison, they sought to honor both her service and her role in illuminating this need to recognize and encourage young engineers. The nominee must be less than 30 years of age at the time of nomination. The candidate will have contributed significantly to the engineering profession within the scope of their limited career years. Nominations will be open annually, but the award will be given only when an appropriate candidate is presented. Orlando…Chapter 8Saturday, November 6th, 2010 Website Award 5:30 PM: I got to the convention center at 6:30 AM to start setting up and got back to my hotel at 5:00 PM. It was well worth the time and energy involved. I set a new record for myself at this convention – I went to ZERO sessions, one tour and one meeting. Part of that was because we tried to see the shuttle on Friday, but mainly it was due to preparing for IIBI. The first year you do something, it always takes more effort. It will happen again next year in Chicago. If you come to conference, please consider being involved. 10:30 EDT/9:30 EST PM: Good news! Wichita won the Communications Award for our Website. Way to go, Kim! TagsAIAA
