She founded and led the manufacturing ESD control team that trained, audited, qualified materials, and established innovative solutions throughout the semiconductor sector. Under her leadership, the team reduced a 40% failure rate in one test operation to almost zero through the targeted introduction of specific ESD control materials and ESD Awareness training. Ginger brought ESD awareness to her other roles as Engineering Section Leader, Technical Training Manager, QA Engineer, Business Metrics Engineer, Data and Document Control Manager, Program Manager and Technical Product Marketing Manager. Ginger retired from Motorola/Freescale in 2004 and became Director of Marketing and ESD Program Management with the consulting group, Dangelmayer Associates. She has published numerous magazine articles and technical papers on effective ESD control programs and awareness training; examples include "The Production Operator: Weak Link or Warrior in the ESD Battle" and "Cost Effective Failure Analysis Method for Detecting Failure Site Associated with Extremely Small Leakage". She has taught seminars, workshops and webinars throughout the world. For over 35 years, Ginger has held leadership positions in the EOS/ESD Association Inc. such as President, Board of Directors, Chair of the Education Business Unit and has served on the Steering, Technical Program, Standards, and other committees.
