The Columbia University Student Chapter of EWB-USA had the honor of hosting the 2011 Northeast Regional Workshop this past November. The dual purpose of the annual Workshop is to train EWB-USA members in the Northeast Region so we are able to help other more efficiently and to allow members to network, brainstorm, and offer feedback about each others’ projects. Over 350 participants joined us for the weekend along with over 40 speakers who offered their experience and insight on topics ranging from their personal international development trips to surveying techniques. The professional exhibition showcased our generous sponsors and reputable nonprofit organizations. The keynote speakers were Cathy Leslie (Executive Director of EWB-USA), Peter Waugh (Project Manager at EWB-USA), Cindy Gallop (Founder of IfWeRanTheWorld and TED Speaker), and Professor Joseph Stiglitz (Nobel Peace Prize Laureate in Economics). EWB fever was definitely in the air throughout the entire Workshop as attendees acquired new resources and knowledge to better their project designs, in-country trip planning, cultural communications, and international development work.
