As a WBE Certified business, it is our responsibility to expose the trades to girls of all ages. Martin Electric is committed to drawing out the blueprint for action. There are opportunities available for your business to support themed summer camp weeks like ours, ensuring all girls have access to transformative opportunities. Are you willing to make a difference?
Kendra Hart (President of Martin Electric) - “We hear a lot about diversity and inclusion and yes, this is extremely important, but what we often forget to talk about and discuss and what I believe to be most important is access. How do we remove physical, systemic and procedural obstacles that prevent someone from participating? ... Kids are taught how to get into college, but what about the union?”
Ashli Fragomeni (CEO of Girls Inc. GCR) "After speaking with Kendra about her vision for Martin Electric and how the company may want to partner with Girls Inc., I could immediately visualize 20 years from now a woman speaking to a room full of young girls about how she got her start in the trades because she attended a summer camp where Martin Electric and Girls Inc. came together to show her that girls can do anything!"
