The new SWE-ECI Core Board had the opportunity to meet each other in person for some axe throwing at Civil Axe Throwing. The group divided up into teams of two for a fun competition. The winners and top axe throwers were Shelby & Jill! Afterward, the group went out for dinner at The Map Room. It was a great opportunity to get to know the two new members on the Core Board this year, Henal and Sarah, and continue to grow our relationships with our veteran Core Board Members! We are looking forward to a great FY and hope to see many of you in person soon!

Results are in!
