A 2023 McKinsey study showed that companies in the top quartile for gender and ethnic diversity financially outperform the bottom quartile by 39%. Diversity literally impacts the bottom line of businesses. The HVAC industry has a long way to go to reflect the make-up of our communities. So how can we help make our industry a more inclusive and accommodating place for a broader demographic? Join us as Fiona McCarthy shares her leadership journey, with the challenges of caring for two young children and her mother with Alzheimer's while trying to find balance as a member of the sandwich generation. After her presentation, we will host a panel discussion on work/life balance and share examples of how to advocate for personal growth and balance as an employee, a manager, and/or a member of ASHRAE.  This is your chance to help us make change in our industry!
