Do any of the following describe you?

these events.
- You want to get more involved with GWAMIT.
- You want more leadership experience to further your personal/professional
development.
- You want to work with strong, motivated, and passionate women.
- You have an idea for a talk/panel/workshop.
If so, you should join our Spring 2011 Empowerment Conference Planning
Committee.  Help us bring innovative, provocative, and informative events to
campus!

To see what we did last spring, take a look here:
Event page: http://gsc.mit.edu/gwamit/events/spring2010.html
Blog post:
http://gwamit.blogspot.com/2010/05/spring-kick-off-2010-in-review.html

Last year we bootstrapped ourselves from having no initial
budget/collaborators, so this year can only be even more amazing.  Come be a
part of it!

There are varying levels of commitment from helping out with specific tasks
to leading an event.  No previous event planning/GWAMIT experience
required.  We especially encourage students in their early years of grad
school to get involved.

skills to middle school students in order to expand their horizons.  Within
