We have listened to requests from Section members and Huntsville Section is responding to member needs. We applied for and received an IEEE job networking grant, and IEEE HQ funded Huntsville Section to launch our very own IEEE Huntsville Employee Network. 🙂

What is it? I can already hear you saying……..
Networking

The Huntsville Employee Network will serve our members by giving them opportunities to: network with others, develop skills necessary to obtain gainful employment, manage their change of careers, and work on professional tips to help maximize their marketability.   We are planning to have various HR reps and talent recruiters at our meetings to offer their insight on the local job market and their recommendations for job seekers.  You do not have to be unemployed to join this group.  This is for anyone who is looking to improve their professional profile and maintain their competitive edge.

Given the current state of the economy, this is the prime time to gather this community of members.  We have heard your requests for member benefits, and this is your time to join us in the planning and implementation of this group.  Please email Sonya.Dillard@nasa.gov if you are interested in joining this affiliation, helping to plan the meetings, or inviting corporate reps to collaborate with us.
