Women in the Global Battery Industry Networking Reception

Nearly fifty WGBI members convened on Monday, May 2 at the first in-person member meeting during the BCI Convention + Power Mart Expo in Naples, FL. WGBI President, Julie McClure (MAC Engineering and Equipment) presided over the meeting, which included reports from officers and standing subcommittee chairs, and a short presentation from Nancy Martin (NRM Consulting) on networking tips and tricks. 

Following the meeting, non-members and representatives from the sponsoring companies gathered for a networking reception. Special thanks go out to the sponsors of the event, C&D Technologies/Trojan Battery and Hollingsworth & Vose for their generous support. 

There's a lot of room for growth in ... lead battery chemistry ... it's something that would really make it even more competitive for things like stationary storage.
