The Columbia River Section is a professional section of the Society of Women Engineers with members who live and work in the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area and beyond. We are from many different disciplines of engineering but we all have one goal in common, to be the best engineers that we can be. We focus on professional development, outreach, visibility, and membership.

To provide programs that will educate, fund, and mentor students.
 
Visibility
To expand the image of the engineering profession as a positive force for improving the quality of life.
