---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Elizabeth Anne Gates Applin <anne.app...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2019 at 02:19 Subject: [Systers] New England Celebration of Women in Computing To: <systers+celebratio...@systers.org> Systers, We need speakers! This is a student centered event and we only have room to feed 200, But speakers who want to come and only present can register as volunteers. Come share your strength and your experiences... ask your employers to come recruit, we still need sponsors... recruiters, swag, conference bags? As faculty, going to Grace Hopper and being in the company of so many technical women had a huge impact on me. We need to encourage the women we have, to stay. Come be that inspiration! This is not a peer reviewed event. Any panel, technical session, or workshop that fits will be welcomed. The conference is only 24 hours... 1 pm Friday to 1 pm Saturday. Does anyone want to do the resume Rx? critique resumes and help students present themselves well? wow... A "how to present yourself well" session would be useful to the students! What are the sought after skill sets?? We would like a profession women track running parallel to the student track proposals for either track would be welcomed as would full participants in the conference. Below is the CFP that has gone out to the university population twice. Come on Boston! We had a great turnout in Portland Maine two years ago.
