About the Senate
The SWE Senate is the strategic body of the society that advises the Board of Directors and the membership on strategic issues. The members of the Senate participate in strategic work through the strategic planning process and research of strategic initiatives. In FY18, the Senate took over the roles and responsibilities of the former Strategic Planning and Strategic Initiatives Committees in order to align all of the Society's strategic work under one common set of goals. In order to carry out all of the work for FY19, Sub-Teams and Task Forces have been formed to focus on the different areas and goals for the year.
The Senate is made up of voting and non-voting members. The voting members of the Senate are elected by members of the society to serve a three year term. For FY19, there are a total of 23 elected Senators, including 1 special senator. Each year up to 3 Special Senators can be selected to meet specific needs of the Senate. The non-voting members of the Senate include the Board of Directors, the Speaker of the Senate, Deputy Speaker of the Senate, the Senate Secretary, and a Parliamentarian.
