STEMconnector® the member-based organization focused on eliminating the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) talent gap, released its 100 Corporate Women Leaders in STEM publication during the Million Women Mentors Summit and Awards recently at The National Press Club. The publication features corporate women who offer their unique perspective on issues facing America’s STEM workforce. EXIT Realty Corp. International’s CEO, Tami Bonnell, was named among the publication’s 100 Corporate Women Leaders whose insights will drive action going forward.
America’s STEM workforce is at a critical juncture. With women and minorities being so underrepresented in STEM fields, the education system falling short of meeting the demand of a 21st century economy, and the United States edge on innovation, the need for action is urgent. As leaders of major companies with involvement in STEM fields, Bonnell and her fellow honorees are uniquely placed to provide exemplary leadership on these issues. “At EXIT Realty we strive to stay on the forefront of important issues and initiatives. We believe that technology should be high tech and high touch. We innovate and build for the human behind the device, not for the device itself. I am honored to be included among this group of progressive thought leaders,” said Bonnell.
Edie Fraser, Chief Executive Officer of STEMconnector® shared, “We are proud to highlight 100 corporate women leaders and recognize their leadership and excellence. The role of women in STEM becomes critical to business and innovation. These role models are change leaders. Special thanks to Lorena Fimbres, VP & Chief Business Development Officer, and team, for leading this series and contributing to STEMconnector®’s position at the forefront of STEM thought leadership.”
