The 2017 Rocky Mountain Summit Awards were also presented. Check out the pictures and descriptions of our RMS award winners below:
Anna Sparks
SWE Region i Treasurer
Adams County Department of Transportation
Anna stepped into new roles in SWE RMS as well as Region i in FY17. She took on a role on the nominating committee for RMS, and a role as the Treasurer for Region, both of which are crucial roles in which her leadership is greatly appreciated. Anna also attends and supports regular section events. All of this makes Anna an excellent candidate for this award.
Casey Waggy
SWE Region i Lt. Governor
SWE RMS Membership Chair
Ball Aerospace
Casey has served the section in many ways over the past few years, and this year specifically stepped up to take on roles with the financial review committee and the nominating committee. Neither is a small task and her role in each was greatly appreciated. In addition to supporting SWE RMS, she is also taking on new SWE leadership roles as the Lieutenant Governor of Region i. Casey's support of SWE both locally and regionally make her an excellent candidate for this award.
Sarah Gilmore
SWE RMS GESTEM Chair
Keysight Technologies
Sarah has committed countless hours of service to SWE RMS as an executive council member and volunteer for GESTEM, specifically in taking on the role of chair for GESTEM. Her leadership was invaluable for this event, and the section could not have pulled it off without her. It is for these reasons that Sarah is deserving of recognition for her roles in SWE RMS.
University of Colorado SWE Section
The entire executive council for the CU SWE Section went above and beyond in their leadership, collaboration, and support of both the CU and RMS SWE sections. These leaders took on positions in the Spring Summit Planning Committee, piloted a new internship/mentoring program between the sections, and so much more. Their enthusiasm makes SWE activities more exciting and energetic for professional members, and bridges the gap between the professional and collegiate sections. For these reasons, the CU SWE section is deserving of recognition.
