PMI Great Lakes Chapter - April 28, 2004 Our SIG was an exhibitor at the chapter's Annual Symposium--"Evolving from Theory to Practice"--held in Sterling Heights (a Detroit suburb), Michigan, on April 28, 2004. Our SIG Chair and member volunteer Lisa Foster, greeted many local members and potential new members among the 400+ attendees. It was great opportunity to get our message out to the Chapter's members, and put a 'face' to our virtual organization. The Great Lakes Chapter, one of PMI's largest chapters with over 2,000 members, is one of five Michigan-based PMI Chapters. WiPM has over 50 members in PMI GLC alone.
Explorathon - April 8, 2004 Over 950 girls in grades 8 through 12 attended this years Exploration at Seaholm High School in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Exploration is an all day event where career women from the community volunteer their time to conduct workshops which demonstrate how to apply math and science to a variety of careers. Often, girls tend to drop out of higher levels of math and science classes due to peer pressure or in some cases not understanding how these subjects relate to various careers. For more information on AAUW and Exploration.

Sponsored by CIPS, this program is designed to encourage girls to consider a future in the IT industry. Less than 25% of computer technology graduates are women.
