AWMI 2010 Member of the Year
Sian Marcone
The Association of Women in the Metal Industries (AWMI) Announces its 2010 Member of the Year.
AWMI is proud to recognize Sian Marcone, International President and member of the Baltimore Chapter, as the recipient of our 2010 International Member of the Year Award.
Sian graduated from Lehigh University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a minor in French. She was hired by Bethlehem Steel Corporation in 1993 as a sales trainee in the company's seven-month "Loop" training program. Her sales career began in the company's Philadelphia sales office and was followed by assignments in Greensboro and Baltimore, including a position in cold rolled products marketing after the commissioning of the Cold Mill complex at Sparrows Point in 1999. During this time, Sian earned a Master of Business Administration from Loyola College in Maryland. After Bethlehem Steel's bankruptcy in 2003, Sian remained with the Sparrows Point facility through its subsequent purchase by International Steel Group and followed by ArcelorMittal in 2006. In May of that year, she joined Main Steel Polishing Company as National Marketing Manager - Tape Products before returning to ArcelorMittal in 2007. The Sparrows Point division was ultimately sold to Severstal North America in 2008 and to RG Steel, LLC in 2011. Recently Sian was promoted to Marketing Manager - Tin Mill Products with RG Steel.
At the core of her dedication to AWMI is a wealth of experience having served in most every board position on either the chapter level or the international level. She has been a contributing member of many committees over the years, helping to mentor through the Chapter Assistance Team; helping to plan the International Conference on the Programs/Speaker Committee; assisting with changes to our operations through the Bylaws/P&G Committee; building the association while on the Marketing Committee; and helping to present a useful and informational "face" of AWMI while on the Website Committee.
The Member of the Year award is the highest honor awarded by AWMI. Members are nominated and selected by their peers for exemplifying the Association's goals of Education, Mentoring, Networking and Growth.
CONGRATULATIONS, SIAN!
