The Network, in cooperation with the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women, in 2007 embarked upon a new means to recognize the contributions of women in New Mexico. This fall, the 2nd Annual New Mexico Network for Women in Science and Engineering IMPACT! Award will be presented to a New Mexico woman for her extraordinary efforts in furthering the goals of the Network:
to encourage women to enter into and develop their careers in science, engineering, and allied professions.

The honoree will be recognized during the Networks' Annual Meeting and Technical Symposium, which this year will be held 24-26 October 2008 at the Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.

For the purposes of this award, science and engineering are defined to include mathematics and all engineering fields as well as the physical, biological, behavioral, medical, and social sciences, and related technical and non-traditional fields.
