We held our first Spring Professional Development (PD) event in early March featuring five exceptional panelists to discuss team building and leadership. The panel (listed below) was diverse in expertise and industry, representing Fortune 500 companies such as ExxonMobil, Emerson Electric, Chevron, Jacobs Technology, and Dow. We had a large turnout with members and nonmembers in attendance to take in tried-and-true professional and personal advice on executing team-building strategies as a new or seasoned leader in managerial, supervisory, and technical positions. Topics covered included building successful teams, leading global teams, career management, and leading by influence, in conjunction with questions pulled from the audience. We had an engaging and dynamic discussion with a few hearty laughs as our panelists recounted witty and enlightening takeaways from their prosperous careers! Networking followed the beneficial discussion. SWE-HA allows members to learn from and meet successful women engineers and leaders in our Greater Houston area in a manner that is welcoming and exciting. Don’t miss out on our next PD event!
