Program accomplishments
- 2025 Feb 18, Engineers Week banquet, recognized new Hall of Fame inductee-Dr. Laurence W. Nagel, renowned developer of integrated circuit simulation software. Awarded scholarships (7) and a Keeper of the Flame award to an educator. Held at the Delta Hotel by Marriott, Silicon Valley, with a catered dinner, and reception, Hall of Fame (96 inductees since 1990) displays, and networking room. About 180 people attended. The Keynote Speaker, Mark Seeger, founder of Glydways shared how to reinvent the concept of public transit using existing infrastructure, with the conviction that the world's biggest problems require infrastructural evolution on a much larger scale. This long-standing event is an opportunity for Silicon Valley engineering professional organizations to recognize its leaders and outstanding students and educators, along with celebrating national Engineers Week.Expenses $18,896
- Recipients of 2025 SVEC Scholarships (education grants) were awarded -- 2 undergraduate and 2 graduate college scholarships @$1,000, 3 high school scholarships @$500, and one Keeper of the Flame award to a high school teacher @ $1,000. All recognized and awarded at the 2025 Engineers Week Banquet. Names available upon request and website: svec.orgExpenses $20 · grants $6,500
- After the removal of the then President in a March 15, 2023 Board of Directors and SVEC Council Special Meeting, the removed officer took adversarial steps to restrict access to our organization accounts. Subsequently, the remaining Board of Directors had to obtain a different domain, website, email addresses, and lost access to many organization accounts. We did regain bank accounts. As of this filing, we have regained the original organization website after pursuing civil litigation and obtaining a Declaration from the California Santa Clara County Superior Court; legal fees, while discounted, were substantial. In addition, SVEC copyrighted its logo and trademarked its name. In March 2023, we asked the Santa Clara County District Attorney to hold this person criminally liable and that investigation is ongoing. We continue to report and eliminate website variants that this shadow organization attempts and continue to build back the Silicon Valley Engineering Council reputation and credibility in the community.Expenses $9,227
- Hall of Fame expenses are kept separate, these include awards and printing of certificates, and reimbursement for inductee travel expenses.Expenses $803
- Certain operating Expenses that support banquet and education programs, specifically website and insurance, and electronic mailing applications.Expenses $4,279
