NM Network for Women in Science Annual Symposium
The NMNWSE Annual Meeting and Technical Symposium, held each fall, provides an opportunity to present technical papers in a supportive environment. It also provides professional development and networking opportunities. The 2015 meeting will be held at the Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa in Truth or Consequences, NM. This region of New Mexico, with its unique and restorative hot springs, has long been considered a sacred place of healing. Sierra Grande offers a sanctuary for rejuvenation, fine southwestern accommodations, a wide array of massage and spa treatments, and soothing mineral baths. The nearby Spaceport USA adds a futuristic twist to this historic town.
The meeting begins with a Friday evening reception. On Saturday morning, the annual business meeting of the Network, including election of the 2015-16 Board, takes place. The Technical Sessions Saturday afternoon are an excellent opportunity for NMNWSE members to network and present their work in a supportive atmosphere (scholarships may be available to presenters - see below), with refreshments served during the poster session to further encourage networking. Saturday ends with a group dinner featuring presentation of the IMPACT! Award and a keynote speaker (TBA). Further details are anticipated mid-summer, 2015.
