Women in Electronics (WE), a 501c3 public charity providing leadership growth and development, mentorship, networking, thought-leadership events, and resources that advance results in gender parity, announced today its newest sponsor, Rochester Electronics, the world’s largest continuous source of semiconductors.
Colin Strother, Rochester Electronics Executive Vice President, stated, “Founded in 1981 as a private family business, Rochester Electronics has always stood by its mission statement: “Supportive approach to all.” Today, we maintain that feeling of a family by providing our staff with a sense of community – a place where all employees can feel valued, trusted, and safe to be their authentic selves. As a global company, diversity, equality, inclusion, and belonging are non-negotiable expectations, not aspirational goals. We must continue to seek new ways to take meaningful action to encourage the broadest audience to engage with our industry. I’m honored to support Women in Electronics; by partnering together, we work to listen, learn, and advocate to create a better work future for all.”
Women in Electronics seeks to unite and advance career opportunities for its members. The WE programs, resources, and events provide thought leadership and education to help make strides toward diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the electronics industry and beyond. “WE is grateful to have the generous support of Rochester Electronics, and we look forward to partnering for the same vision of gender parity, a united industry community, and a sense of belonging for all talent to thrive”, says Jackie Mattox, CEO of Women in Electronics.
