The Stories We Share

Make a Difference

Thanks Deb for sharing the article that inspired this post. Whether a first-year employee or a senior leader, we all have the opportunity to make a difference. I’m committed to making a difference through the Empowering Women Mentorship Program (www.EWMP.info), by being an active participant in the Wii Network Group monthly call, by continuing to mentor women in the electrical industry, and (selfishly) by staying connected with friends in the industry even in retirement.

How will you make a difference?
