Staci Hartz Honored Among Women of Impact

 

Staci Hartz was one of 10 honorees at the Whitaker Center’s Women of Impact: Women in STEM Awards Luncheon today.  Hartz is a project engineer in the water and wastewater service group at Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc (HRG).  She was recognized in the Women to Watch category.

The Women to Watch award goes to an individual who is under 40 years old and has already achieved significant success in the STEM field.

Staci was nominated for the award by Justin Mendinsky, the water and wastewater group manager at HRG. “Staci does exceptional work,” Justin says, “and she is very driven.  She’s also passionate about inspiring others toward a career in STEM. She frequently serves as a mentor to new employees, and I know she will continue to accomplish great things in the industry.”
