The Coordinate Metrology Society (CMS) continues its support and coverage of advancements in the precision dimensional metrology industry, as it has done for more than three decades. One of our key strengths has been the professional women in our membership ranks. They have been and continue to be key CMS leaders. Acknowledging their roles is long over due. It is important not only to recognize those women who have crashed the glass ceiling in our industry, but to inform others that a career in metrology can be incredibly rewarding.

It is no secret to our members that a career in metrology is genuinely gratifying. Most of us are working with high-end precise equipment and software to ensure complex systems get built quickly and precisely. Dimensional metrology is involved in almost every new large-scale system including airplanes and aircraft carriers, cars and their production assembly lines, power generation systems, new telescopes and satellites to name a few.
