STC WDC chapter member, Marissa Levin, and her company, Information Experts, were featured in USA TODAY on the front page of the Money section in this past Monday, May 19, 2003! If you can still find a print copy, you will see a large photo of Information Experts employees and their families.

Women CEOs balance career, motherhood. In addition, Marissa was featured in a TV segment on CBS that ran nationally. Way to go, Marissa! We are proud of you.
