    • Annual Kickoff Meeting (September 26th 2019) — video recap below
      We had the Mid Hudson SWE Annual Kick off Event At Ice House on September 26th 2019.  The event was open to both members and non members.  After introducing the new 2019-2020 board members, we had a talk by Stacey Kurian, P.E. and Julianna Connelly from the Chazen Company.  It was interesting to hear the perspective of early and mid tenure Women engineers from Civil Engineering field and their challenges and success stories working for a local engineering company.

    ​We can accommodate specific time slot requests to the extent it is possible. We can’t have empty slots in the middle of our set. Each slot is approximately 15 mins although HBG says it goes faster with a group as the next person is prepared with their choices. So it might be as short as 10 mins per ornament.
