Colleagues from across the company came together to celebrate "her" day. Laughter, applause, and heartfelt encouragement filled the room, creating truly memorable moments.
Amid the expectant gazes of the audience, Sam walked onto the stage with a lively step to share his personal insights on Ford's century-long commitment to valuing and empowering women.
From Linda Zhang, the Chinese-American chief engineer of the all-electric Ford F-150 who graced the cover of Time Magazine, to the vivid examples from the Hangzhou plant team, and the authentic voices of female employees from various fields, Ford is demonstrating through actions that when women are given an equal platform, they not only drive the company's growth but also set benchmarks for the industry. The future holds limitless possibilities for the Women of Ford (WoF).

Sam emphasized that relaunching the WoF ERG is more than just a fresh start; it's a deep dive into showcasing the incredible value women bring, creating an open and inclusive platform for growth.
The event was filled with lively interaction, with everyone sharing their personal stories and dreams.
Rebecca Gu, the Chairwoman of Women of Ford, introduced the new committee members and encouraged more Ford employees to actively participate in WoF. She expressed the hope that WoF could serve as a mirror to illuminate oneself, understand oneself, and courageously be oneself.
