Corporate Sponsorship

SWE-BWS welcomes Corporate Sponsors to partner with us and further our mission.

The Baltimore-Washington Section was established in 1950 at the time SWE was founded. Our membership consists of around 800 women and men in the DC Metro area (spanning from Baltimore, MD to Warrenton, VA) with diverse backgrounds and in all stages of their careers. We are a 503(c)(3) organization that is entirely run by local volunteers who are passionate about SWE’s mission.

Our Section works to do the following

SWE-BWS hosts networking and professional development sessions throughout the year. Topics have included “Networking for Career Development and Career Transitions”, “Natural Language Processing in the Cloud”, and more!

In FY23, SWE-BWS judged over 400 science fair projects. Additionally, we volunteered at over 15 STEM events for K-12 students across Maryland, Virginia, and DC.

SWE-BWS hosts in-person and virtual networking opportunities throughout the year, ranging from a Guinness Brewery Tour to a lunch at WE23, and everything in between!

SWE-BWS has over 800 members. Additionally, members volunteer as Collegiate Liaisons to connect with local collegiate SWE Sections.

How do we stay connected to our 800+ members?

The newsletter announces upcoming SWE-BWS professional development, volunteering and networking events. As of November 6, 2021, we have 706 subscribers.

Members and non-members alike can send in questions and suggestions to the SWE-BWS Executive Council. Additionally, the website features upcoming events.
