SET
Congressional Visits Day (28-29 April)
About CVD
SET CVD, set for 28-29 April 2010, is an annual two-day event that
brings scientists, engineers, researchers, educators, and technology
executives to Washington to raise visibility and support for science,
engineering, and technology. Uniquely multi-sector and multi-disciplinary,
the SET CVD is coordinated by coalitions of companies, professional societies
and educational institutions and it is open to all who believe that
science and technology are the cornerstone of our Nation's future. The
two-day event consists of a series of briefings and meetings highlighted
with visits to your Congressional delegates.
CVD's Objective
SET CVD raises
awareness of the long-term
importance of science, engineering and technology to the nation through face-to-face meetings with
Members of Congress, congressional staff, key Administration officials and
other decision-makers.
The core messages we ask
participants to deliver are:
- Balanced federal investment in
Science, Engineering and Technology is fundamental to the future of
our Nation's prosperity.
- Science, Engineering and
Technology partnerships between government, universities, and
industries mean progress, economic growth and jobs for our Nation.
Who is
Behind CVD?
SET CVD is coordinated by the
Science-Engineering-Technology Work Group, an information network comprised
of representatives from professional, scientific, and engineering societies,
higher education associations, institutions of higher learning, and trade
associations who share a common concern about the future vitality of the
U.S. science, mathematics, and engineering enterprise.
Participation by IEEE members is
coordinated through IEEE-USA's Government Relations.
