At Nationwide Boiler, we are proud that we are able to break the barriers in a male-dominated industry, by employing valuable, hard-working women throughout many departments. We believe that all of the women at Nationwide Boiler make a big impact on who we are and what we stand for as a company. Hear from some of the Women of Nationwide about their pastimes and how they feel they make an impact:
Michele Tomas - VP Finance
"The tides of the boiler industry are shifting, where more women are being recognized for their valuable contributions to organizations that serve the needs of steam generation. As a leader at Nationwide, I feel empowered to have my voice, as well as others, heard within the organization. Our skills and inputs are not only recognized, but are known and credited as vital inputs to the ongoing success of the company."
Holly Lepo - Quality Control & Facilities Manager
“Because of my years of service and the numerous job positions that I have held, I have had a unique opportunity to see how Nationwide has grown in terms of Women in the workplace. From a time when we had Women only in clerical positions to now when we have many Women in management, accounting, engineering, marketing, and quality control. I have had the honor of working closely with and getting to know most of our Women. It is wonderful to see how Women have advanced into the Working Women of today.
One of my favorite outside activities is to hop in my RV and venture out with my Women’s group, friends, and family. Of course, at one time it would be quite unusual to see a Woman driving, maintaining, and setting up an RV by herself!”
Chelsey Ryker - Marketing Manager
“I enjoy being part of the small group of working women in the boiler industry, and I appreciate the many opportunities for growth that I have received at Nationwide. It’s nice to work for a company that promotes a work-life balance, with flexibility that allows me to be a working mother of two. And as a woman that is part of the leadership team, I feel empowered to provide new ideas that will help improve processes and day-to-day activities throughout the company.”
