The Packaging & Processing Women's Leadership Network (PPWLN) will host a breakfast networking event featuring Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman in space and second female director of NASA's Johnson Space Center, at PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO (Sept. 23-25; Las Vegas Convention Center). Ochoa will share her experiences as a history-making astronaut, including thoughts on driving change and building diverse, effective teams during her keynote address, "Exploring New Territory," Sept. 24 at 7:30 a.m. Sponsored by show owner and producer PMMI, the event is part of PPWLN's effort to spotlight women's contributions to STEM fields and support women in packaging and processing industries. "Ellen Ochoa's historic career with NASA is full of experiences that will interest and enlighten everyone-women and men-at PACK EXPO," says Tracy Stout, vice president, marketing and communications, PMMI. "She is a trailblazer like no other, and her passion for getting more women and minorities into STEM fields will inspire all who attend this special event."
