Abstract:
Engineering Connections/Reflections/Opportunities
Take some time to explore the potential synergies between the engineering world and the audit function. Reflect on interactions from past interactions and voyage into a new world of possibilities. Examine the tool box of resources available to the engineering profession that can be called upon to supplement your team and further your success. Also, during this time you will be able to connect with and ask questions of a woman that has spent over two decades in the aerospace business. Discuss the path so far, where we are today and the opportunities ahead, and how everyone is a part of the growing diversity journey.
