Extech Building Materials hosted its third annual Women’s Summit, bringing together 50 women from across the company and its partner organizations for discussions on leadership, personal growth and professional development.
The event, held in celebration of Women’s History Month, featured keynote speaker Christina Clinton, a corporate communications leader and executive coach known for her expertise in leadership development and career advancement.
This year’s summit, held at Extech’s headquarters in East Rutherford, was its largest to date. The event expanded beyond Extech’s internal team to include women leaders from companies such as Feury Image Group, Jerry Manna & Associates, and Lizza & Associates, as well as past summit speakers. Attendees participated in networking opportunities, interactive sessions and team-building activities designed to foster confidence and collaboration.
Extech President and CEO Tim Feury welcomed attendees before introducing Executive Vice President Tina Nocera, who leads the annual event.
“We created this summit to provide a platform for the talented women in our organization to come together, learn from each other and develop both personally and professionally,” Nocera said. “Every year, the energy and enthusiasm build, and this year’s event was no exception. Christina Clinton’s insights were invaluable, and it was incredible to see attendees leave feeling empowered and ready to take on new challenges.”
Clinton’s keynote focused on impostor syndrome, a psychological phenomenon in which individuals feel like professional frauds despite their success. She noted that both men and women experience these feelings, with many CEOs and entrepreneurs acknowledging similar struggles.
“It was exciting to see this strong group of leaders embrace their unique strengths and brainstorm actionable steps to grow their confidence and conquer moments of doubt,” Clinton said.
Attendees also received curated gift bags with motivational items, including Mel Robbins’ New York Times best-selling book “The Let Them Theory”, which provides strategies for prioritizing personal and professional growth.
