Linda Anaman's journey is one of resilience, determination, and a deep commitment to the people around her. Encouraged by a high school teacher to pursue engineering, she was later met with a harsh reality when a college professor told her, “Engineering isn’t for women.” Instead of letting those words define her, Linda used them as fuel. She pushed forward, earned her mechanical engineering degree from Michigan State University, and built a career that proves exactly the opposite. Her path eventually led her to HSC, where she has spent the past 29 years not just managing operations, but fostering connections. Now the Midland TCS Site Manager, she oversees the production of trichlorosilane, balancing coordination between HSC headquarters, the Midland site, and Dow operations. While she’s proud of her work, it’s the people who have made HSC home. “It’s always felt like a family,” she says, reflecting on how the company has grown from a few hundred employees to a multi-generational workforce that still maintains its strong sense of connection. Throughout her career, Linda has leaned on key mentors, including Gary Homan and Phil Dembowski, who gave her opportunities to grow as a leader, and longtime friend Terri Datz-Siegel, whose support has been invaluable. She now strives to do the same for others, encouraging curiosity and growth at every stage. “As a leader, I want to help others grow for their next opportunity, wherever that may be.” She credits her success to the support of her colleagues, knowing that leadership isn’t just about individual achievements but about lifting others up along the way.

We are honored to be the Future Leaders Sponsor for this year's Saginaw Chamber Chairman's Ball. AB (Arabinda) Ghosh, Corning Vice President and General Manager of Solar Technologies and Chairman and CEO of Hemlock Semiconductor, delivered brief remarks during the event. This sponsorship provides us with a unique opportunity to connect with the next generation of community leaders. We are excited to see these future leaders make a meaningful impact, encouraging them to invest in their community and take on essential roles for its growth and development.

Dana’s journey began with a spark of inspiration in her high school calculus class, where she first realized the power of engineering to change the world. Encouraged by her father—a mechanical engineer in the auto industry—she pursued a degree in chemical engineering from the University of Michigan, eager to tackle challenges head-on and make a real impact. Her passion led her from a formative experience at Dow Corning in Greensboro to a fulfilling decade at HSC, where she now shines as a Manufacturing Engineer Specialist. Dana has become the driving force behind transformative energy-saving projects. Her work not only champions sustainability but also demonstrates her knack for turning innovative ideas into tangible results. Beyond her technical achievements, Dana embodies the warm, collaborative spirit of HSC. She loves the company’s supportive culture and is an active voice in the Women’s Professional Network—an initiative that has enriched her professional life with mentorship and meaningful connections. Her advice is simple yet profound: “ask questions and make connections,” a testament to her belief in the power of curiosity and community.

We’re changing the world and we’re looking for those who want to come along for the ride. Come see our open positions! https://bit.ly/3U6mhy4
