The Mt. Diablo Section of the Society of Women Engineers is part of the Golden West Region of SWE. The Mt. Diablo Section was originally part of the Golden Gate Section, but was formed to create a smaller geographic area allowing for more member participation at meetings and other section activities. Our section's geographical area stretches from Fairfield in the North, to Sunol in the south, and covers the area between the Oakland/Berkeley Hills and the Central Valley. Our section is very diverse. Our members work for local government agencies, the chemical and petroleum industry, national research laboratories, utilities, consulting firms and their own companies.
