Follow on Google News | Leading Women in STEM to Be Honored at 23rd Women of Color STEM ConferenceFord Motor Company's Donna Bell recipient of 2018 Technologist of the Year Award
By: Career Communications Group The Women of Color STEM Conference is more important than ever before as just half of STEM graduates pursue careers in their educational paths. For more than two decades, this conference has served the dual purpose of showcasing outstanding contributions in STEM and highlighting the challenges of gender harassment, gender bias, discouragement, and the lack of support women face in the workforce. This year's conference theme, "Press for Progress," reflects the global push for gender parity. "This year, the award candidates were the strongest and represented the most diverse collection of executive professionals we have had the pleasure of evaluating," Just a quarter of the over five million tech jobs last year were held by women, and the percentage of women of color – particularly black and Hispanic workers – in the industry stands at single digits. The full list of award winners can be found on the next page. The Women of Color STEM Conference is produced by Career Communications Group Inc. (CCG), the leader in workforce diversity, working with all types of companies to help support them in promoting multiculturalism and gender equity in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) -more- 2018 Women of Color STEM Award Recipients Technologist of the Year Donna Bell Director, Research Operations Ford Palo Alto Ford Motor Company Career Achievement – Government Rekha Rao Research & Development Science & Engineering Principal Chemical Engineer Sandia National Laboratories Brenda Ellis Program Manager National Aeronautics and Space Administration John H.
