The College of Engineering is asking for one volunteer to help out at this event, taking place on Oct 14 from 7-9pm in the HUB. The volunteer will receive a free dinner and the opportunity to talk to and network with professionals from many Engineering disciplines.
Your job would be to attend the event, be ready and willing to chat with people, and be a good note taker for your table. The note taking component is important, so the volunteer must consider themselves to be a good “scribe”. Please email me directly in you are interested!
Please join the National Engineering Forum in charting a path
to a prosperous, secure future.

Throughout America’s history, engineers have provided a wellspring of innovation to drive our economic growth and national security. In 2013, leaders from industry, academia, and other sectors will meet in innovation hubs such as Seattle to launch a national movement – the National Engineering Forum – on the future of America’s engineering enterprise and the role of engineers to position the nation for 21st century leadership.
You are invited to a National Engineering Forum dialogue event hosted by the University of Washington, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Lockheed Martin, and the Council on Competitiveness. The Regional Dialogue will be one of many conversations leading up to a cornerstone national event. The event will focus on engineering, innovation, and entrepreneurship in Seattle. During dinner you will have the chance to weigh in and make your voice count in the development of the National Engineering Forum agenda.
The evening will begin with cocktails and brief remarks from:
Michael Kluse, Laboratory Director, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
Michael Bragg, Dean of Engineering, University of Washington
