With this award, our goal is to recognize the dedicated, hard-working and inspiring women throughout our industry, and to not only honor their excellence, but also to acknowledge how they help support those females that may be interested in a similar career. We hope that these awards help inspire those to follow in their footsteps.”

Table boxes, as well as a full line of interfaces, distribution amplifiers, matrix and seamless switchers, and HDBaseT & CAT-X signal delivery solutions. Sandri’s significant contributions extend from developing products that answer a real need, such as FSR’s original control and metal integration products, to having served as a director on the Board of several industry organizations. Sandri has grown FSR, a women-owned business that strives to maintain green manufacturing processes, from three people to a staff of over 100.
Sandri’s generosity and sense of civic responsibility are truly inspirational and legendary. She has served as the mayor of Little Falls, NJ,
her home town, as well as on the town council, did a stint as fire commissioner, police commissioner and was also the president of the board of health. As mayor she donated her salary to local worthy causes, or needy people, and every fall, as school opens, Jan leads the charge towork with United Way and donate supplies, such as backpacks and notebooks, to children whose families are having a difficult time keeping up with the economy.
“It’s truly an honor to receive this award and be recognized by one of the industry’s leading publications,” says Sandri. “The manufacturing industry provides so many great opportunities for women — and is such a rewarding market to work in. I’m thrilled that I can help to inspire other women to forge a career in this great field.”
