She earned her BS and Master of Engineering with honors in a total of four years. She entered the stone industry in the 1970s. Barbara served as MIA board president in 1998. During her term, she was committed to improving the association’s image by striving to have the most inclusive membership possible with the widest net of global representation on the board, so the industry would broaden its opportunities. She has been a role model for women in a male dominated industry, in a time when there were few women in positions of authority or management. She supported people from all walks of life, only wanting to see people who worked with stone do better and to learn from each other by being involved in the association. Barbara has always advocated for opportunities for leadership among women in the industry, lending her staff support to the serve on the Women in Stone Steering Committee and financially supporting the initiative to inspire, empower, and advance hundreds of women in the stone industry. Yet her true legacy will be remembered for the passion with which she talks about natural stone.
