Previous Meetings
March '07 Meeting:
Steppin' Up!
On March 27th, the SWE professional section hosted the graduating seniors of Georgia Tech and Southern Polytechnic
University to let them know about all of the great things the SWE Atlanta Professional Section is doing this year and in the
future.
This event was an effort to ensure that the graduating seniors are aware of the professional section, and
what a great networking opportunity it affords its members. At the event, held at Food 101 in the Virginia-Highland
neighborhood, members and students enjoyed appetizers, wine, and each others' company as the topics of SWE participation,
leadership opportunities, and community outreach were discussed. It was a great event to integrate potential members
and share experiences of those who have been involved with SWE in the past, present, and future.
February '07 Meeting:
International
Business Etiquette
|
| International business etiquette |
Engineers doing business in the international community need to understand the culture and values of
other countries. Polite behavior in one country may be offensive in another. Peggy Parks of the Parks
Image Group hosted a workshop for members of SWE Atlanta in February. She has experience in personal and career image
consultations as well as corporate workshops.
