These industry experts have graciously agreed to volunteer their time (when needed) to local universities that are in need of panel members or guest speakers to add value and real-world perspective to their course teachings. Speakers will either be invited to participate, virtually or in-person (as WA state restrictions allow) and speak to students and professors about their experience and perspective.
