NMNWSE, in cooperation with the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women, initiated the NMNWSE IMPACT! Award in 2007 to recognize the contributions of women in New Mexico. This fall, the 18th 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:
Encouraging 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 will be held the second half of October, 2024 in Los Alamos, NM.
Nominations are being sought from all geographical areas of our state from individuals, organizations, and businesses. Nominators and Nominees do not need to be members of NMNWSE. Nomination forms plus instructions and submission requirements are enclosed. Nominations are due September 20, 2024.
For the purposes of this award, science and engineering is 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.
If you have questions about the award nomination process, the purpose of the award, or the Network, please contact the NMNWSE IMPACT! Award Chair Nancy Savage (505-249-8218), at nmnwse.impact.award@gmail.com.
At the network, one of our main goals is to really thank each and every one of our members for taking the time to encourage women to participate in the world of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We hope you will consider nominating outstanding women from your organization who have been actively involved in educational outreach, re-entry programs, networking, and/or mentoring, or who otherwise have encouraged or promoted equal participation by women in science and engineering.
