Come to our November luncheon to hear Monya Lane, CEO and Board Chair of Quest, talk about Quest’s progress and direction in their vision to connect everyone to the value of science to improve lives and our world.
This presentation will review how, in 2018, a group of national lab retirees and community leaders decided to share their love of science and technology and “pay it forward” by leading an effort to create a science center in downtown Livermore. They envisioned a place where everyone - at any age - would have engaging experiences relevant to our lives and world. Quest Science Center is now a committed group of advisory board members, educators and community volunteers bringing this vision to life, first creating a mobile science-center-without-walls the past 5 years, and on a roadmap to a permanent regional science center.
Monya Lane is a retired mechanical engineer whose tenure included overseeing the development of innovations in advanced manufacturing, bioengineering and data science as the associate director of Engineering at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Throughout her 35-year career she held a variety of energy, environment and national security project and program management roles in service to the nation.
