I'm all for women in the Supply Chain:

What advice would you give to the women of tomorrow interested in the supply chain industry? Clark: Not to be intimidated by lack of experience. This industry is ever-changing, and it’s impossible to be an expert at everything. Having a willingness to learn as a team is more impressive to most than always knowing the answer. Be genuine and get involved - even if you fall on your face a few times. Barnes: To all of the women considering a career in the supply chain – go for it! I encourage you to explore the supply chain as a career path. Our company, and this industry, is looking for the next generation of women leaders. The supply chain is a dynamic and ever-changing industry that is not only mission-critical to business outcomes but is also essential to the well-being of our families and communities, as evidenced during the pandemic. Supply chains have a significant impact on sustainability, so there is an opportunity to make improvements for the planet and the greater good. I also tell women that this industry not only offers high-growth opportunities and high-tech compensation levels but also offers stability. Companies need and invest in supply chains not only during financial upswings but also during and economic downturns and the role of the supply chain has now been elevated to corporate boardrooms. We are always looking for top talent in the supply chain and it is immensely gratifying to learn, grow and make an impact in this industry. Pare: Jump in - the supply chain is ever-changing. It is fast-paced, and you have the ability to assist others to achieve their career goals. In conclusion, the supply chain is a function that has huge impacts on any organization. The supply chain function is complex but still integral to the economy and is ripe for innovation and change. ProShip joins the world looking for that change with the #ChooseToChallenge campaign not only celebrating women today and every day but continuously promoting gender equality.
