Review for American Indian Science and Engineering Society, Albuquerque, NM, USA
My spouse and I were invited to a University Student AISES meeting by one of the students. At that time we both worked for Lockheed Martin. We were both supportive of the AISES students, attended their meetings and volunteered for all their activities which included organizing their student conference. I joined AISES as a professional member & eventually became a Sequoyah Fellow in 2009. I recruited students at Stanford University, San Jose State University, UC Berkeley and Arizona State to be part of AISES and to be employed at high tech companies. I also volunteered and gave 2 workshops at the main National AISES Conferences as a Lockheed employee. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a Professional AISES member and greeting the young students and informing them about becoming an AISES member. I also gave workshops at the University level for students to be aware of the high tech industry that they can be part of during their life time. I enjoy reading the Winds of Change magazine and viewing all the American Indians that are displayed in the magazine. This just makes me proud that the AISES organization exists. Being invited to a Student AISES meeting started our journey to volunteer for this great organization. I am an enrolled member of the Nez Perce Tribe of Idaho.
