Fall 2023 WAM Meeting Recap
WiMCO^® Texas Tech Summit Impact and Lessons Learned

7×24 Exchange’s Fall 2023 WiMCO® Alignment Meeting was held on December 6th via Zoom. The session, moderated by Juli Ierulli, Vice President of 7×24 Exchange International and Chair of the WiMCO® Committee, attracted over 60 attendees. The presentation focused on the impact and lessons learned from the WiMCO® Texas Tech Summit held last summer in Houston, TX. That educational and networking event drew over 200 people and was co-sponsored by the 7×24 Exchange Texas South and Central Texas Chapters.

Leading the discussion was Jackie Pasierbowicz, Sales Manager, Edge Market, STULZ Air Technology Systems and President, Texas South Chapter. Joining her was Christine Ficke, Account Manager, Electra Link and WiMCO® Community Leader of the Central Texas Chapter. Together, they shared their experiences hosting the event.

Particularly, they spoke about the intent behind holding the event; to have something different that would help attract and retain women participants for the Chapters. The objective of the summit was to create a judgment-free, inclusive event that encouraged professional growth and build comfort while working alongside male counterparts. Along with sharing various success metrics, Jackie and Christine summarized the lessons learned gained from their experiences.
