The Leadership Coaching Committee (LCC) is a trained group of more than 65 experienced SWE members who work with sections, Members at Large (MAL), and affiliate leadership to develop and support SWE leaders at all levels. SWE Leadership Coaches are available to share their SWE expertise via sessions, answer questions, and help your SWE section thrive! Leadership Coaches provide support to SWE sections and affiliates at no cost, so please consider working with your coach during the fiscal year!
Contact lcc-chair@swe.org for all questions/comments about the Leadership Coaching Committee.
