Corporate Partnership Council (CPC)

Organizational MembershipOrganizational MembershipThe impact SWE has on achieving gender equity in engineering and technology is powered not only by our members, but also the organizations that share and support our vision. SWE’s Corporate Partnership Council, founded by SWE’s most prominent supporters, is an invaluable agent of change. The CPC shares best practices, addresses recruitment, retention and advancement issues, and partners with us on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging  initiatives. SWE benefits from the expertise and guidance of industry leaders—and the world of engineering and technology benefits from a more diverse and inclusive community.

The mission and objectives of SWE are supported by CPC members because they:

  • Provide major financial support for the Society and its programs
