As they progress further, we want to introduce them to technical roles they might not have imagined themselves performing, And, of course, we want the best and brightest to think of Endress+Hauser when job hunting,” said Hailey Barton, chairperson, Endress+Hauser’s Women’s Integrated Network (WIN) committee.
