- President (elect 1):
- Grace Lefebure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I moved to Seattle 4 years ago from West Chester, PA to work
as a Stress Analysis Engineer at Boeing on the 777X Moveable Trailing Edge
Flaps. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2012 with a B.S. in
Mechanical Engineering and a minor in biomedical engineering.
I currently serve as the President of SWE PNW. Before that,
I held the roles of Vice President of Professional Development and Newsletter
Editor in our section. Each of these roles has taught me a lot about engaging
SWE members in both the virtual space and in-person. As newsletter editor, I
communicated events, activities, and news to our members and worked with the
virtual brand team to ensure consistent interaction with members. As the VP of
PD, I leveraged those virtual platforms to advertise and encourage
conversations about the in-person technical, social, and networking events.
As President, I identified a need for more consistent
knowledge transfer between officers. As a volunteer organization, we have
frequent turnover from year to year, and I’ve seen knowledge get lost as people
move out of SWE PNW leadership. Our leadership team has been building
infrastructure and creating guides so that knowledge is not lost from year to
year. In the President role next year, I will continue this effort, enable our
leadership team to host events that connect engineers both professionally and
socially, and grow our relationship with the community to build the next
generation of engineers.
