WE KC 2017 - SWE Kansas City Section 

This is SWE-KC’s (Society of Women Engineers-Kansas City) second annual event and aimed at empowering women across STEM fields.  Women leaders from across the area will speak on topics involving professional development, continuing education in the workplace, and finding your leadership voice.  For those of you who attend the event at B&V last year, we’ll be at KU Edwards on August 3^rd for the 2017 event.
