Women in NAHAD continues progress in year two

摘要

The Women in NAHAD initiative is in its second year, and thus far the woman responsible for getting it started is happy with the progress, though she knows there is much work to do. "I'm really pleased because the goal is to get that conversation going," said Karen Brandvold, vice president and chief financial officer for Omni Services Inc., a distributor of hose, accessories and other rubber products. "How do we attract and maintain and mentor and make our industry desirable for women? Women make up half of the work force. If you're ignoring that, you're not attracting the most talented work force that you can."
