51���ϱ�������ʷ�¼�

As a family of companies, 51���ϱ�������ʷ�¼� is dedicated to our purpose of challenging and empowering individuals and organizations to grow beyond what they believe is possible. A large part of living that purpose is questioning the status quo, innovating, and laying a firm and sustainable foundation for those who will come after us.

The women on our teams have a significant impact on 51���ϱ�������ʷ�¼� and our communities, and we believe that the influence they have should be celebrated. 51���ϱ�������ʷ�¼� and each of our business units operate in traditionally male-dominated fields, so each year through our Women in Industry initiative, we try to showcase the importance of Women in STEM and business to hopefully inspire the next generation of female professionals and leaders. 

This year, we partnered with the Louisiana Tech University chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) to give students the opportunity to speak with one of our top engineering leaders and hear about her experience forging her own path and setting standards for technical excellence across the United States. 

In this virtual interview, you will hear from:

Jennifer Gemar, VP of Engineering at DIS-TRAN Steel

Sarah C. LaBorde, Corporate Communication & Sustainability Specialist at 51���ϱ�������ʷ�¼� Operations

Ashley Phillips, Biomedical Engineering student at LA Tech & SWE Vice President 

Catherine Weldon - Mechanical Engineering student at LA Tech & SWE Secretary

Jacob Marks - Mechanical Engineering student at LA Tech & SWE Campus Liaison
