On December 8, 2020, Kimley-Horn hosted a virtual information session over lunch for its DFW area employees to learn more about the benefits of membership in professional engineering societies focused on diversity. In a panel discussion moderated by Kimley-Horn employees, leaders from NSBE DFW, SHPE DFW, and Dallas SWE discussed their experiences with the organizations and how they have been able to develop and refine a variety of skills that carry over into their careers. Community involvement, outreach and how the groups work together were also topics of conversation. After the group panel wrapped up with questions, attendees were invited to join breakout groups to learn more about the individual organizations and continue the discussion. With the panel discussion having over 100 attendees, this first corporate informational session was a huge success!

Our Membership Appreciation Holiday party this year looked a little different but a good time was still had by all. Members donned their favorite holiday apparel and joined a GoToMeeting where we shared dinner, beverages, and laughs. Several members shared their favorite recipes and the significance behind them. Claire’s holiday trivia stumped everyone but we learned a lot about the many holidays observed this time of year. Congratulations to our door prize winners: Shelley and Teri!
