Featured Members & Partners
We proudly feature our members and Corporate Partners in recognition of the time, support, and dedication they contribute to our Chapter. Our members’ efforts are the foundation of our Chapter—driving initiatives forward, strengthening connections, and creating meaningful impact. By highlighting their involvement, we not only celebrate their commitment but also inspire others to get engaged and take part in shaping the chapter’s success.
Without our Corporate Partners’ support, we would not have our events such as our monthly programs, Mentoring Program, Girls Engineering Day, Transportation Academy, and many more. Corporate Sponsors contributed meaningfully to the $50,000 scholarships that were awarded in 2025!
