 Thank you so much. It is a pleasure to be here. It's with great pleasure that I present the Women Champion Powering Impact Award to Dr. Carol Dahl, former Executive Director of the Lemelson Foundation. A recognition of bold trailblazers, this award is presented to women at the forefront of technology for good. By putting the spotlight on talented leaders committed to engineering global development, we reaffirm ASME's commitment to achieving gender equity in the social sector. Carol's faith in the value of ASME's ISO and what it could contribute to impact invention was catalytic for ISO when it was launched as an international accelerator in 2015. As Executive Director of the Lemelson Foundation, Carol worked tirelessly to advance the foundation's mission of improving lives through invention, including supporting equitable pathways to invention and innovation, cultivating the next generation of inventors and innovation talent, championing and invention education and catalyzing a diverse and inclusive movement through InventEd. Prior to joining the Lemelson Foundation, Carol served as the Founding Director of the Global Health Discovery Program at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, leading the development of grand challenges initiatives, innovation programs which have been replicated around the world. Previous roles include Vice President for Strategic Partnerships at Biospect Inc., now Pathworks Diagnostics, and Founding Director of the Office of Technology and Industrial Relations at the National Cancer Institute. This is just a small snapshot of Carol's trailblazing leadership. As Director for the Clare Booth Loose Program for Women in STEM at the Henry Loose Foundation, the U.S.'s largest private funder of women's science, engineering, and mathematics higher education, which also promotes equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout the STEM ecosystem. I'm a great admirer of Carol and her trailblazing work to drive change in the STEM ecosystem for gender equity and positive social impact. Carol, it is an honor to have the opportunity to work with you. You are an inspiration to those of us who promote diverse and innovative STEM talent and inclusive innovation and invention pathways. I'm thrilled to present you with the Women's Champion Powering Impact Award. Thank you for honoring me with this significant award. It means so much coming to me from ASME, an organization that so clearly shares my belief that invention and innovation can solve humanity's biggest challenges and improve lives in communities both in the U.S. and around the world. I'd be remiss if I didn't say that any impact that I've contributed to has been because of my amazing colleagues that I've worked with over my career first in government at the Gates Foundation and most recently during my decade-long tenure as the Executive Director of the Lemelson Foundation, where support for improving lives through invention continues, including sponsoring iShow. It's been well at Lemelson that I really came to know the work of ASME in fostering innovation to address the sustainable development goals or SDGs as we became significant supporters of ASME's iShow. The engineering for global development programs like E4C and iShow that we just heard about the new iShow idea lab are having a measurable impact on quality of life and meeting the UN SDGs, supporting inventors and would-be entrepreneurs and taking their ideas to reality and impact. I also believe that the full creative potential of the global population to address humanity's greatest challenges has not yet been tapped and so we need to advocate for fostering greater equity in engineering both in terms of increasing access to the path of invention and entrepreneurship but also increasing access to the inventions that engineers create, especially in underserved communities, and I know those are values that are shared by ASME. I'm very grateful for this award and coming from such an important institution and for all of you here today who share the vision of impact engineering. Again, my deepest thanks.
