Our non-profit organization is an umbrella organization representing 36 technical societies in the Quad City region with approximately 5,000 total members. This event is a true milestone and we plan to honor it in the same manner it started. Fifty years ago, Iowa Governor Harold Hughes and Illinois
Governor Otto Kerner, Jr. joined together in the celebration as the QCESC
made its debut. We are honored to say that this year,
Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and
Lieutenant Governor Kim Reynolds have accepted our invitation to help
us Celebrate STEM in the Quad Cities at our annual Engineers Week banquet
along with
Davenport Mayor Gluba,
Rock Island Mayor Pauley
and
Bettendorf Mayor Bob Gallagher. We encourage you to join us and this group of honored guests in this night of celebration. The annual Engineers Week banquet provides a outstanding platform to network and recognize some of the Quad Cities best and brightest science, engineering, and technical professionals, educators, and students. We encourage you to show up early for the social with free hor d'oeuvres, multiple displays as outlined below from local organizations and students supporting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) including the Iowa State Champion Bettendorf Community Schools Robo-Dogs FIRST LEGO League Team and the Davenport West High School Real World Design Challenge State of Iowa winning team.
