Our Bay Area INCOSE chapter will be hosting a panel discussion to discuss how politics affects systems engineering and the work place. Panelists will discuss the positive and negative sides of politics. Members of the audience are encouraged to pick the brains of the panelists and discuss any political questions they may have.
Panelists are experience engineers throughout the Silicon Valley who will offer their insights on politics and how it has played a role in their career. We’ll have questions. We’ll have debates. And hopefully, we’ll close with some good practical political advice for the work place.
Please come and join our audience to listen to our panelists. We look forward to hearing your questions and your own personal experience with politics.
In addition to our presentation, all INCOSE SFBAC members will have an opportunity to meet the candidates for the chapter offices as well as the current officers and cabinet. Elections will take place late August, and results will be presented at our September INCOSE meeting.
