FY13 Elections
Michele Milliner, RCRI am a CS major at
WSU, I have been the treasurer and VP or
our SWE section, I am married with 2 kids, I
am interested in robotics and haptics, I
think Duct tape, marshmallow Peeps,
and LEDs are the most awesome inventions
ever.
Lindsay Kammeier, RCCEMy name is Lindsay Kammeier, and I'm a
third year Civil Engineering student at Cal Poly. I like to spend
my free time playing flute in the marching band and
baking. I have enjoyed my experiences at my
school's section of SWE, and I hope to be elected RCCE so I can gain some
regional experience.
Scarlett Siyu Wu, RCCEI want to take the position just
because I want to do something for the community as a member of it. I'd love to get involved in
more activities in the community in the future. I'm an optimistic and curious girl, and always
want to challenge myself. I did volunteering in NGOs, helping people with autism and people
suffering the harsh environment in Himalayan areas. During
leisure time, I will go traveling or play musical instruments for fun. I love running, which can
activate my mind, giving me lots of new ideas.
Wendy Merkley, RCSI’m Wendy Merkley and I am a graduate student
in Environmental Engineering at Utah State University. I’ve been a member since 2005! I love SWE and
everything it represents! I love to go hiking and camping, playing video
games, and reading! And long walks on the
beach.

Best Practices/Discussion
Discussion Time!Leadership follow through and motivation
We know that everyone is busy but this is something you committed to.
Creating contracts about the positions so they are really committed to the position, with consequences of possibly losing position. Also pulling people up from the committees in form of elections to pull them up.
Asking the leaders what they think they are suppose to be doing and coming up with a list of their responsibilities
If you need to let someone go, keep them in the loop still and try to give them a way to step down without hurting their pride.
Be willing to ask for help of the professionals, they are much more experienced than we are and are great resources
Discussion Time!How do you get general members involved
Use ice breakers at meetings so they can make a connection with others and have good food!
Have guest speakers that talk about different topics that will interest the members
Use workshops that aren’t specific to only one engineering major
Text messaging members so they know about the activities, use google voice to do 5 numbers at a time
Use companies for all the professional workshops PUBLICITY!!! Try to talk to everybody at the meetings so everyone
knows they matter! Remember names!
