Subject line: Western, MA NEGC Fall Forum: Thursday, November 19, 2009
Hello,

Please plan to join us and invite others to attend the Northeastern Girls
Collaborative (NEGC) Western MA Fall Forum being held at the brand new
Engineering and Nanotechnology Ford Hall at Smith College, Northampton, MA
on Thursday, November 19, 2009 from 4:00pm. to 6:00pm.   

The Fall Forum will feature a number of successful Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math (STEM) programs serving K-12 girls in Western
Massachusetts, provide information on the goals and objectives of the
National Girls Collaborative Project (http://www.ngcproject.org) and
encourage collaborative efforts among individuals, schools, non-profit
organizations, government agencies and corporations.  

Too often programs serving girls in STEM are limited in service and impact
due to size, location, funding, expertise and equipment,  In other cases,
projects compete with each other, duplicating services and seeking the same
resources.  The Northeastern Girls Collaborative (NEGC) aims to reduce this
competition and increase STEM outreach, interest and participation by
providing opportunities for interested individuals to come together and
leverage the know-how, talents and resources of programs with like-minded
interests.  

Registration will begin in early October through the National Girls
Collaborative Project Website, http://www/ngcproject.org

Enjoy the fall season,
