Women in Business

Generally, when people think of Arizona Public Service (APS)—the largest electricity provider in the state—they may picture men at the forefront. And while men make up the majority of the employee roster (as of May, 27.4 percent of APS’s 6,000 employees are women), there is a growing number of women employees within the organization … in a variety of roles.

Mackenzie Rodgers, APS Transmission Operations and Maintenance, explained that as an organization, APS supports women in all roles, including leadership … and many opportunities exist that the public—and women in particular—may not expect.

“I’ve worked in many jobs where I’m the only woman on the team or one of many women on the team,” Mackenzie said, “but I have never felt not supported or empowered or mentored to be my best and support other women to be their best as well.”

he Women’s Foundation for the State of Arizona (WFSA) is proud to share the resounding success of its inaugural Daring Generations events, held in Phoenix and Tucson.

Every day, our hair is exposed to metal, including lead, copper, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. Pollutants in the air, hair products and cookware we use, certain foods, our local water, and even drinking from aluminum cans can cause metal to accumulate over time and cause damage, hindering natural hair growth and vitality.

Metals such as lead and copper can disrupt the natural growth cycle, leading to hair loss and thinning. These metals can weaken the hair shaft, causing it to become brittle and prone to breakage. And, the presence of metals can also affect hair color and texture, causing unwanted changes.

That’s where a metal detox comes in. Understanding the significance of metal detoxing in maintaining luscious locks is crucial.

Women view the world through a uniquely feminine lens. The roles we play are often customary and inevitable. Centuries-old barriers continue to squelch our strength, ability, and potential. When we veer from the expected path, criticism can be harsh.

If you want greater success, you can’t keep thinking, saying, and doing the same things.

By thinking differently, you will act differently. You will act with Badassery … and you will create different results.

In Arizona’s vibrant landscape, a persistent challenge that demands our attention and advocacy is the gender pay gap. As we strive for equity and inclusivity, it is imperative to address this issue head-on and work towards creating a fair and just society for all, but more specifically for those who have been marginalized for centuries past. Additionally, we must consider the impact of disclosing salary history and its role in perpetuating existing inequities. The Women’s Foundation for the State of Arizona (WFSA) urges everyone to join us in advocating for change and making our voices heard.
