Reaching for the Stars

After receiving feedback from our community, FIRST Chesapeake and our

major Women in STEM sponsors have decided to pivot from a one-day

in-person Reaching for the Stars: Women in STEM Breakfast Sponsored by

Leidos to a multi-week celebration of Women in STEM.

Please watch your inbox and social media accounts over the coming weeks for

information as we honor our 2022 Reaching for the Stars: Outstanding Women

in STEM Award recipient - Dr. Patricia Mead, our four outstanding Dominion

Energy scholarship recipients, and other exceptional women from

FIRST Chesapeake for their contributions.

FIRST Chesapeake is pleased to announce the 2022 Reaching for the Stars: Outstanding Women in STEM Award will be presented to Dr. Patricia Mead.
