SWE Region D Conference

Six members of the SWE-CM Section attended the March 28 – February 2, 2013 SWE Region D Conference in Orlando.  Jennifer Braganza, Rose Mary Seymour, Tolani Owasu, Chris Cathcart, Cheryl Kinchen and Angela Berry all made the 8 hour drive to Orlando.  SWE-CM participants made presentations, attended workshops and tours and attended the SWE business meeting.  The event was capped off with a Masquerade Ball on Saturday night with good food and an opportunity to continue networking with the Collegiate and Professional members in attendance.  Chris Cathcart, Cheryl Kinchen and Angela Berry (l to r in picture) hammed it up in the photo booth at the Masquerade Ball.
