Celebrating Women in the Workplace

• On International Women’s Day (IWD), we invited acclaimed authors Frances and Ginger Park, daughters of Korean immigrants, to talk about their memoir, “Chocolate Chocolate,” which is also the name of their family-run chocolate shop that has been open in downtown Washington D.C. since 1984. In conjunction with the event, our Company donated $2,500 to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts to support its Scouting centers in countries that neighbor Ukraine. The centers offer heated rooms and support refugees at border crossings by distributing essential supplies like food, water, clothes, blankets, and menstrual supplies.
• On IWD, we gave female employees in Romania pink t-shirts, scarves, and sweets in recognition of their valuable contributions to our company’s success.
• In Nanjing, China, we gave female employees a shampoo set on IWD.
• To recognize IWD, our Polish facility donated money to Różowa Skrzyneczka (The Pink Box Foundation), which provides hygiene products to Ukrainian refugees.
• During IWD in India, employees participated in a presentation featuring a local physician discussing work-life balance, stress management, mental health, and psychological well-being.
• As part of our efforts to build an enterprise-wide peer group to discuss the challenges and successes of women engineers, the Company covered the costs for several employees to participate in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Conference in Houston, Texas, billed as The World's Largest Conference for Women in Engineering and Technology.
