JOANNE GOODMAN- SHERMAN

JOANNE GOODMAN- SHERMAN EDITH CAMERON ANN BISGYER-WOLZ WIFI INTRODUCES A NEW SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM by Taryn Goodman My Aunt, Joanne Goodman Sherman, was excited when I told her that I was applying for a position on the board of WIFI. She thought it was great that I would have a network of smart and successful women in this industry to learn and grow with in our careers. This opportunity was not available when she began her career in fasteners; at that time there were few women in leadership positions, or at the industry tradeshows. As co-owner of Industrial Rivet & Fastener Co. Joanne left her mark on the company, and on everyone she met and worked with along the way. She had great passion for rivets, and for the professional development of her company and employees. She embraced the sisterhood of women in business; she was National Association of Professional Women (NAPW)’s Woman of the Year in 2010/2011. After she fought a long and hard battle with cancer, I knew we would want to do something special to honor my aunt’s legacy in the industry. WIFI’s new Joanne Goodman Sherman Scholarship supports the education of fastener women through an innovative online channel, with the goals of making fastener education more accessible to all women. She would be very proud to share her name with such a worthy endeavor. WIFI new scholarship compliments it’s current scholarships in providing accessibility and mentorship - The Edith Cameron Scholarship provides funds to attend the International Fastener Expo in Las Vegas and The Ann Bisgyer- Wolz Scholarship provides tuition for the Fastener Training Institute. WIFI NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT! Please support the future of WIFI by either becoming a member or a sponsor in our mission. We thank you for all the support our sponsors have given us throughout the years. Without you, Women in the Fastener Industry would not be where it is today.
