Reflections on Our Board of Directors Journeys

Three SWE members with extensive board experience share their insights and advice.

By SWE Magazine

Having served on a number of different boards, including three electronics industry organizations, and currently a community nonprofit, I am happy to share my board of directors journey.

By Marie Cole
SWE Life Member

A combination of personal circumstance, qualifications, and a desire for personal and professional growth brought board opportunities and clarity toward my new career path.

By Anne Lucietto
Ph.D., F.SWE

With each opportunity building on prior activities, my SWE-Boston board experience led to increasingly important involvement in other professional societies. This helped to set me on a path of serving on college and industry boards.
