PSR 12th National Council Spring 2010 Face-to-Face Meeting

National Council has scheduled our Spring 2010 Face-to-Face meeting. We will be hosted by VP of Communications, Kristie (Rector) Waters, in Indianapolis, IN.

We have a lot to do at this meeting - we plan to complete our required LEAP training and finish up some of our strategic planning to get it read for review and presentation at Conference.

We're also looking forward to catching up with the Triangle staff at their headquarters for some of our trip! (Thanks, Brian!) If you have any questions or comments, please let us know and we'll keep you posted on what we accomplish!

Please join us in welcoming Anita to National Council!  We'll have Anita introduce herself to you all just as soon as she gets settled.

Barbie goes Computer Engineering!

After 50 years and 125 dolls, Mattel has finally come out with Computer Engineer Barbie!  It's an exciting day for engineers interested in Barbie, and a great opportunity to show girls a little insight into engineering.

It appears that young girls weren't the ones that voted for computer engineer, but this is still a great way to encourage them to look at engineering. Remember when Barbie once talked about how Math is tough?  Glad to see she's come a long way in just a few years.

Great job to the Society of Women Engineers and National Academy of Engineering for working with Mattel to make this happen!  I know I'm looking forward picking up on when it comes out in the fall.
