Please Consider Joining Our Leadership Team!

The SWE-Eastern Nebraska Section is now accepting nominations, and encouraging self-nominations for FY27/28. Section officer positions are a 2-year term. Officer positions are: President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary.

To help members understand the commitment and responsibility of these leadership positions, we have put together a description of each position and overview of what board members do on the board.

We ask that all officers plan to attend a monthly conference call or report updates to the Executive Council (Section officers and committee chairs)
