Rounding out the cavalcade of animals were some flying squirrels, bats, owls, starfish, turtles, salamander, sea lamprey and a boa constrictor.

Be Bold for Change: International Women's Day at Qualcomm

Through my 20+ years at Qualcomm, I’ve participated in many of our celebratory events for International Women’s Day (IWD).
