It's that time of year again - EWB Days! This year, we are doing a microfinance competition through Kiva, called RAIIN: Rethinking Awesome International Investment Now.

The U of A chapter of Engineers Without Borders is pleased to announce the election of the following members to the chapter executive for 2010-2011:

• President: Fraser Mah
• VP Fundraising: Matt Li
• VP Finance: Gurpaul Atwal
• VP Member Learning: Sierra Jensen
• VP Communications: Tyler Heal
• VP Curriculum Enhancement and Global Engineering: Ian Wright

Our 2010 Junior Fellows will also be joining the above people on the executive:

National Conference 2010 in St. John’s Newfoundland was an incredible experience full of learning, networking, self growth and renewing our commitment to international development and the alleviation of global injustice and inequity. The workshops and speeches that the U of A chapter delegates had the opportunity to attend expanded our minds and inspired us to work hard to achieve our lofty goals.

It’s not exactly a new years resolution, but rather a general desire for this year that I get things done early so I can make better use of my time. It’s in that vein that I want to start my Junior Fellowship Blog now as opposed to a more sensible time of the year.
