2008 Global Marathon
For, By and About Women in Engineering
March 26-27

Invitation to Participate in the Global Marathon

I am pleased to partner with the National Engineers Foundation and accept the position of National Honorary Chairperson for the 2008 Global 24-Hour Marathon, “For, By, and About Women in Engineering.” The 2008 event promises to be an exciting educational event designed to enlighten women around the globe about the various disciplines, benefits, and wide range possibilities in S.T.E.M, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math careers.

The 2008 Marathon will follow a new model as the 24 hours of continuous programming will ‘follow the sun’ by aligning the programming with the business day around the globe.  The event will kickoff in the United States and then travel to Mexico, China, India, Africa, and Europe, retuning back to the United States for the closing ceremonies.  

I would like to welcome the region leads from each country as they join with Verizon Business and the National Engineers Foundation to make this a collaborative and successful global event in March 2008

On behalf of the Foundation, I invite your participation in the 2008 Global Marathon, a 24-hour event that starts at noon EST on Wednesday, March 26.
