ME Women Showing Their Stuff
While we talk about changing Maine for its women and girls, its important to also recognize the important achievements women across Maine are already making. The Portland Press Herald is a good place to start. Reading the morning regularly gives me a snapshot of who is making waves as (to steal a term from my favorite online platform) Fab Females. I hope through E-Quality Matters, we can begin to capture a bigger picture from across Maine.
But in today's news...
Carmen Cherry of Camden was hired as a structural engineer at Gartley & Dorsky Engineering and Surveying in Camden. Cherry has more than seven years of experience in engineering, construction and research. Go go women in non-traditional occupations!
Molly Susla, a fifteen year-old from Freeport , has won a spot at the Summer Biathlon World Championships in Estonia. Summer biathlon is similar to the winter variety in that athletes must complete a race course that includes stops every so often to shoot a .22-caliber rifle at five targets. Instead of skiing, however, summer biathletes run the course. Molly won a local race while at camp, enabling her to place for the Championship!
In news late last week...
Gabrielle Machionda, Mad Gabs, is focusing on expanding her business, building on a platform of strong social values.
Ten year old Samantha Hebbs saved her grandmother from drowing in Lebanon Lake.
Say a little Woo Hoo for Girl Power!
