Women in Non-Traditional Careers Share Their Stories
On July 20, several inspiring women from LADWP’s workforce were joined by Board President Cynthia McClain-Hill, General Manager and Chief Engineer Martin L. Adams and IBEW Local 18 Business Manager Gus Corona for an informational panel about women in “non-traditional” careers. The event was sponsored by the Women’s Council and the LADWP Society for Women Engineers, and drew over 270 attendees. In addition to moderator Construction and Maintenance Superintendent Vicki Smith, panelists included Electrical Mechanic Hannah Cooper, Construction Helper Olga Gill, Meter Reader Claudia Magana, Heavy Duty Truck Operator Erica Minor, Park Maintenance Supervisor Lizandra Morelos and Water Treatment Supervisor Jacqueline Ochoa. Attendees heard about the unique challenges the panelists have faced throughout their careers, resources that have helped them along in their career paths and potential steps to take to create positive change in work environments.
