Kate L. Dunwoody Society Luncheon 2019

Presented by Talla Skogmo Interior Design Kate L. Dunwoody Society Luncheon

SANCHAYITA RAY | KEYNOTE SPEAKER STRATEGY AND MARKET DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR, MORTENSON

On October 23, 2019, more than 320 people attended the annual Kate L. Dunwoody Society Luncheon, which celebrates women in technical fields. Held at Dunwoody, the event recognizes the vision and generosity of Kate L. Dunwoody and raises scholarship funds for students at Dunwoody.

This year’s event raised nearly $80,000, which is more than double what has been raised in prior years. This success of this year’s event wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of our sponsors, including: Presenting Sponsor, Talla Skogmo Interior Design; Hospitality Sponsor, Morrie’s Classic Cars; Industry Sponsor, Emerson; and VIP Reception Sponsor, Parsons Electric LLC.

The program included remarks by keynote speaker Sanchayita Ray, Strategy and Market Development Director for Mortenson. Ray emphasized not only the need for more women to enter STEM fields, but also the need for more female role models to encourage and support them in industry.

The Kate Dunwoody Luncheon is an annual event that brings women and industry together in celebration and pursuit of increasing the number of women pursuing careers in the STEM fields.
