Celebrate National Business Women’s Week with us by recognizing the incredible contributions of women in the world of business! This week, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable women serving CCEDC - on board and on our team, inspiring change and leadership in our community.
While celebrating the contributions of women in business, it's also important to acknowledge that women are still facing discrimination in the business world. Women represent 58.4% of the US workforce as of September 2022 but only held 35% of senior leadership positions. Only 10.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women and less than 1% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women of color. We've come a long way, but clearly there's still a very long road ahead to ensure gender equality in the business world.
From left to right, Patti VanCleave of CCEDC, Helen Esbenshade of Lamb McErlane PC, Fawn Collingwood of United Safety & Survivability Corporation, MaryFrances McGarrity of CCEDC, Eileen Perpiglia of Longwood Gardens, Dr. Marta Yera Cronin of Delaware County Community College, Joyce Chester of Chester County OIC, Kara Rahn of Pennsylvania American Water, Marianne Stack of CCEDC and Leslie Rylke of CCEDC. Thank you for the time you have dedicated to giving guidance to CCEDC.

Learn about Ada Lovelace, the world's first computer programmer.
We’ve been so busy gearing up for GETT that we missed Ada Lovelace Day on Tuesday. However, she’s such an important figure that we wanted to make sure to share her legacy.
Ada Lovelace, born in 1815, was a remarkable mathematician and writer whose pioneering work in the 19th century laid the foundation for modern computer science and programming. She is best known for her collaboration with Charles Babbage, the inventor of the Analytical Engine, a conceptual mechanical general-purpose computer.
Lovelace's groundbreaking contribution came in the form of her notes on Babbage's Analytical Engine, where she not only translated an article by the Italian mathematician Luigi Federico Menabrea but also added her own extensive annotations and insights. In these notes, she outlined the idea of using algorithms to instruct the machine to perform specific tasks, effectively creating the world's first computer program.
Her visionary thinking extended beyond mere number-crunching, as she understood that the Analytical Engine could manipulate symbols and not just numbers. This insight foreshadowed the concept of software, making Ada Lovelace the world's first computer programmer and a trailblazing figure in the history of STEM. Her contributions continue to inspire and empower women and marginalized genders in science and technology today.
If you or someone you know is a girl between grades 5-10 that's interested in learning more about STEM and STEM careers, direct them to GETT. Learn more here: https://gettpa.org/.
