Close to 200 people attended the annual awards ceremony held Thursday morning at Locust Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY.
Kruschwitz was selected from 11 nominees recognized for significant career accomplishments in a high technology field, for actively encouraging women to enter the physical sciences, and for being a role model for women in the community.
In the Democrat and Chronicle article Amy Carey, Director of Women in Technology Programs for Digital Rochester, said,
Kruschwitz “truly embodies all of the qualities and characteristics we look for.”
The recipient is selected based on sustained contributions to the field; contributions that advance the status, opportunities and employment for women in technology; and community service.
