Johnson Controls’ Irene Lam to Speak at 2017 Massachusetts Conference for Women

Executive based in Westford, Mass., will speak to attendees on job
advancement

MILWAUKEE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Johnson
Controls announced that for the fourth consecutive year it will
sponsor and participate in the Massachusetts
Conference for Women on Dec. 7, 2017, at the Boston Convention &
Exhibition Center in Boston. The event will feature Irene
Lam, Vice President of Product Development, Building Management
Systems for Johnson Controls, as a panelist discussing professional
skills and job advancement. During the show, the Johnson Controls booth
will feature presentations with a focus on preparing for a job
interview, negotiations and networking.

In the session entitled, “Ladies…Get Paid: Negotiate with Courage and
Get What You Deserve,” Lam will share best practices on how to
present yourself in an interview, how to prepare for an interview and
how to negotiate salary. Lam is based in the company’s Westford, Mass.,
office and is a past presenter at the conference.

The 13th annual Massachusetts Conference for Women is a
one-day event that brings together 10,000 active professional women from
across the world to promote, communicate and amplify the influence of
women in the workplace and beyond, through nationally recognized
speakers, workshops, and seminars. One of this year’s Keynote speakers
includes Viola Davis, a critically-revered, award-winning actress of
film, television and theater known for her groundbreaking roles.

As part of the conference, Johnson Controls will also participate as an
exhibitor. The theme of the booth is “Empower Yourself. Evoke Change,”
where certified executive coach Kim Meininger and Gil McClary, an HR
business partner, will provide presentations on confidence building that
shines through on your resume, in an interview, while negotiating salary
and in networking situations.

Lam joined Tyco Security Products, now Johnson Controls, in 2004 and has
held multiple roles. In her current role, Lam is responsible for
developing, leading, and driving the vision, technologies, and solutions
strategies for cloud and on-premise platforms. Lam is actively involved
in being a mentor, both within and outside of Johnson Controls. In 2015,
she was recognized by security industry publication Security Systems
News as one of the top 10 Women in Security for her contributions to
the physical security industry.

“If you want to remain competitive in the global business marketplace,
you must create an infrastructure for developing female talent,” said
Lam. “The Massachusetts Conference for Women does that by providing a
platform through which women can connect with one another, create
mentorships and develop the skills they need to succeed, based on a
vision of gender diversity and equity.”
