A key leader of the Chatham-Kent Chapter, Andrea Winter has been a tireless contributor to the ongoing success of the chapter and an engineering ambassador to the local community and new graduates at her employer Dillon Consulting Limited.

Since joining the chapter executive in 2005, a few years after her graduation from the University of Guelph, Andrea has served in several capacities in the chapter including certificate coordinator, vice-chair, chair and secretary. During that time, she has spearheaded numerous activities such as the annual golf and curling tournaments, member appreciation events and AGMs; as well as leading member communications including creating and distributing chapter newsletters.

Most notably, Andrea has been instrumental in promoting engineering among local youth and new graduates, including planning and executing Impromptu Design Competitions, Chatham-Kent science fairs and engineering day camps. She also visits local schools and community organizations such as scouting and guiding to demonstrate engineering projects to promote greater understanding and appreciation of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) careers among students.
