Point System Reset

SWE point system has been reset. You now start collecting points for our end of the year scholarship (which is awarded at our end of the year banquet) and also for funding to the national conference.

What is our point system? This point system is something SWE does by itself to recognize

our members. We have you sign in each event so we can track your

activity/involvement within our chapter. Certain activities/commitments give you more points (i.e. coming

to the leadership summit on 2/9, helping out with the Overnight Stay Program, going to Decaf Prep gives you more points than attending just a GBM)

Members who are involved are given preference in conference travel funding (up to fully funded depending on involvement) and also for being awarded scholarships.

The point system is also something we use to determine Super SWEBEE!

Leadership Summit THIS SATURDAY
