About the Speakers:
With almost 20 years in the aerospace industry, Julie N. Strickland is an experienced engineer, program manager, and innovator.

Strickland holds five patent awards with many others in the pipeline. The book Strawberry Innovation: The Practical Guide for Innovating within a Fortune 50 Company, which contains all the wisdom that Strickland has gathered over years of developing inventions, will be published later this year.
