A leader at Vermeer Corporation is now helping guide an organization helping to advance women and girls in the STEM fields through mentoring.

Teri Vos with Vermeer Corporation was named co-chair of the Million Women Mentors (MWM) Iowa group, which participated in STEM Day at the Capitol Wednesday, connecting with legislators and showcasing efforts to advance women and girls. Vos replaces Mike Ralston of ABI, who served as co-chair for three years and will remain on the executive council.

“With the many opportunities for females to thrive at amazing STEM careers in Iowa, it’s a valuable privilege to be part of Million Women Mentors,” said Teri Vos, co-chair. “From
mentoring, to supporting other STEM-focused organizations and bringing visibility to the need for a local STEM-skilled workforce, every effort is beneficial to the successful future of young people and our State.”
