A Statement from KATHY HEINLE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of beam
Women have always been architects of change, builders of progress, and pioneers of innovation. In engineering, they break barriers, solve the unsolvable, and design the future with intelligence and resilience. Their contributions are not just measured in blueprints and equations but in the way they inspire generations to dream bigger. The world is stronger, smarter, and more innovative because of women who refuse to be confined by limits. Keep building, keep creating, and keep leading—because the future needs your brilliance.
“Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, creativity, or curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.”
