Leadership Incentive Program

What is SWE Leadership Incentive Program (LIP)? LIP QUESTIONAIRE

The SWE-PNW Leadership Incentive Program, updated and reintroduced for FY01, was developed (originally by the FY95 Executive Committee) in accordance with the Society's strategic plan to establish and encourage programs that provide leadership and management skills development to enhance career, personal and SWE growth.  This program also serves to encourage members to actively participate in Section activities and derive maximum benefits from being a SWE member.

Suzanne Hakam was one of the main the developers of the program in FY95 (the original idea was inspired by the Detroit Section's Engineer of the Year awards and Toastmasters International's Club recognition program) and helped re-introduce it in FY01 which continues on to this date.

Throughout the year, members of the section will receive points for attending or participating in various events both SWE and non-SWE related.  At the end of the year, members with 7 or more points will be recognized at the annual Spring Banquet and will get to choose from various prizes purchased/donated for the event including the chance to win a free SWE Membership renewal for the next fiscal year.  Members need to be present to receive the award.

It is easy to start collecting points, and the tallying starts over every year, so if you weren't able to accumulate 7 or more points last year, you have a brand new chance at it this year!

Below are some examples of how you can earn LIP points:

     >> Renew your SWE National Membership by September 30th
     >> Sponsor a New Member or Bring a Friend to a meeting
     >> Membership upgrades
     >> Personal Accomplishments like earning a degree or finishing a marathon
     >> Attended any of the conferences full time
     >> Attend SWE-PNW Events
     >> Etc….

These are just some examples of how you can start collecting points.  If you attend/participate in one of the events above more than once, you will get a point for each time you participate/attend.  In addition, if you feel another event or activity should count towards an LIP point, let me know!
