company in so many ways, and Maureen’s background not only fits in
nicely, but brings an additional breadth of experience to us. She
has OEM experience, understands the supplier perspective, and
helped run one of the most complex logistics companies on the
planet. In addition to providing sage advice, I anticipate Maureen
will assist us in driving one of our key goals, which is
attracting, retaining and developing talent. Our business has
traditionally been and been viewed as male-oriented. That is
changing in all aspects of our business, from the shop floor to the
executive level. Our company is working hard to create more
