SRF’s Marie Cote represented women in engineering at the recent Minneapolis Regional Chamber Executive Women’s Council panel, Women Leading in Male-Dominated Fields. The speakers featured trailblazing women in leadership roles in traditionally male-dominated sectors.
Marie and the other panelists shared their journeys and engaged in critical conversations about the hurdles, challenges, joys, and opportunities that come with leading today. They shared insights about driving change in their respective industries and redefining what it means to excel in traditionally male-dominated sectors.
As the leader of numerous initiatives to enhance diversity and equity in the engineering industry, particularly for People of Color and women, Marie has facilitated and sponsored a series of DEI events at SRF. Over the course of her career, she has managed many complex transportation planning and traffic engineering studies that included rigorous project management and intense stakeholder facilitation. Marie’s her strong management and leadership skills have enabled her to successfully balance project management and delivery with staff development and engagement.
Thank you, Marie, for being a shining ambassador for women in engineering and SRF!
