Corporate Members

Diversity in the workforce and in leadership has been correlated to improved performance results for organizations. SWE promotes diversity of gender, ethnicity, and thought in all of its programs targeting K-12 students through executive-level professionals. Through SWE membership, organizations can support their community outreach efforts, satisfy their recruitment and retention goals, and take advantage of a platform by which to support and recognize their women engineers.
