We are just over half way to our goal for the endowed Rewald/Perazza Torch Award as previously introduced in this blog post.
This award was created to honor two SWE Detroit members who we lost in 2016 - Josie Rewald and Lisa Perazza - who had a passion for mentoring and supporting women in technology.
The Torch Award is symbolic in allowing us to continue Lisa and Josie’s love of “passing the torch” to future generations. After one year of interest, the endowment would provide $1,000 (annually) to fund the recognition program, which would be split amongst two teachers who are focused on mentoring young women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). The recognition would enable continued support of their mission in the form of engineering kits for the awarded teachers, who might not otherwise be able to obtain such resources.
