This May, we are proud to celebrate Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month by featuring members and allies of ITW's Asian Professionals Engagement Network (APEN). These colleagues have demonstrated a passion for promoting cultural competence and creating an inclusive and welcoming workplace. We are excited to introduce Nayana Bhandari, human resources manager at Simco-Ion in our Test & Measurement and Electronics segment. Based in Hatfield, PA, Nayana joined ITW in 2022 and supports six business units. Q: What significance does this month hold for you? A: It is an important time to celebrate the rich and diverse contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Recognizing achievements and honoring our history empowers us to promote awareness and understanding of all cultures. Growing up in India and immigrating to the U.S. almost 20 years ago has played a significant role in shaping who I am today. I embrace my Indian culture and celebrate traditions, values and customs. Being in this country for so long, I now understand what it means to be “Asian American." Q: How has APEN impacted your time at ITW? A: I immediately joined APEN when I joined ITW and am now actively involved in event coordination for our Northeast chapter. APEN has provided a sense of belonging within ITW and has helped me grow by expanding my professional network. Q: How do you and your colleagues celebrate AAPI Heritage Month? A: We have shared our cultures through food and conversation during potlucks. Enjoying cultural dishes is a fun way to learn about different heritages. #AAPI #ProudToBeITW

Renita is a team leader responsible for supporting divisions with understanding what sustainability means to ITW and supporting our customers’ environmental goals. “On Earth Day, we deliberately pay attention to our home,” says Renita. “Personally, it is a day of gratitude; a reminder that we are interconnected with the Earth. I believe that taking care of the Earth is the ultimate form of self-care. The more I learn about the Earth, the more I am in awe, and I am grateful that the work I do supports the planet, even if only in a small way."
