UMI Womens History Month

In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, Winchester Interconnect Micro would like to recognize and celebrate all of the contributions from the women of our team that drive our success. We are grateful for these incredible women and all of the women who have made a difference in history with their achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love. As President Jimmy Carter said, “From the first settlers who came to our shores, from the first American Indian families who befriended them, men and women have worked together to build this nation. Too often the women were unsung and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed. But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.” (1980) As we move towards a brighter future, we will continue to support and empower all women to ensure their continued success and impact in our world.
