There is an impressive panel of judges for the inaugural Electronics Weekly’s Women Leaders in Electronics Awards. Many have the same advice to people considering entering themselves or a colleague for these awards: “just go for it!”

Scott-White-online-300x248.jpg“Role models are vitally important,” believes Scott White, founder and executive officer, Pragmatic Semiconductor, “so I would encourage women leaders in electronics to enter the awards, not only for personal recognition but also to show what is achievable to their up-and-coming colleagues.”
