Why should we include everyone?
• We are highly dependent on a continuing supply of highly educated and skilled engineers.
• A rapidly changing global business environment is fueling the demand for highly skilled employees.
• The US labor pool today is too small to provide the level of skill we need. The US education system is simply not keeping up.
• We must not only increase the quality of those in the pool, we must make the pool larger.

Why should we focus on women in STEM?
• Because we want to hire them!
• Because women are a severely under-developed portion of the potential labor pool.
• Because we know all kinds of diversity drives diversity of thought – leading to more ideas and better solutions.

• Decision-makers / Influencerso Put the right people in some of the right positions (recruiting, hiring,
placement and promotion)o Mentors – Stay close to the members of minorities in your midst

stay (or come back)
• Policieso Eliminate “time-in-position” from the equationo Define “capability” as kingo Recognize other experiences – work and lifeo Provide flexibility – time, location, tools, etc.
