I wonder what she contributed to IDTI. SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 1999--IDT (Nasdaq:IDTI - news) today announced that Anne Tamura Katz, vice president of U.S. assembly and test operations, has received the YWCA's Tribute to Women and Industry (TWIN) Award for her outstanding contribution to IDT and the local community. The TWIN Awards Program is designed to honor women who exemplify excellence in executive level positions, and have made outstanding contributions to their companies and the San Francisco Bay Area's economic and social growth. In addition to honoring Katz at its TWIN Awards dinner, the YWCA will also recognize IDT for creating and expanding opportunities for women in management positions. ''Anne's technical acumen, business savvy and integrity make her a highly valuable asset to IDT, and a role model for all of our employees,'' said Len Perham, president and chief executive officer for IDT. ''Her strong character and extensive experience have made her a steadying force behind our worldwide assembly and test operations through some turbulent global economic conditions.'' Katz brings more than 16 years of assembly, test and packaging experience to IDT. Her current responsibilities include overseeing domestic assembly and test operations, as well as worldwide assembly and test strategy for the company. Katz joined IDT in 1990 as engineering supervisor of packaging process development. She then served as director of assembly operations and engineering, where she defined and directed strategy for IC assembly, in addition to managing 12 assembly locations in the U.S. and Asia. Her experience prior to IDT includes engineering and management positions at Amkor Electronics, Saratoga Semiconductor and Signetics Corp. She earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Santa Clara University. Katz and IDT will be honored at the TWIN Awards dinner ceremony on Tuesday, March 23 at the San Jose Fairmont Hotel at 7:00 p.m., following a reception at the YWCA's Villa Nueva in San Jose. This year's theme, ''Gems of the Industry,'' pays tribute to the multi-faceted and invaluable qualities that women demonstrate in their personal and professional lives
