DEARBORN Rose Ryntz, director for Advanced Materials Engineering at Visteon, has been named the 2004 recipient of the Women’s Automotive Association International’s Professional Achievement Award.
Ryntz and the Advanced Materials Engineering Group have been involved with such first-to-market innovations as Visteon’s Long Life Filtration System, winner of a 2004 PACE Award, and a negative thermoformed full instrument panel.
She is one of the leaders of Women in Visteon, an employee resource group that provides opportunities for career development and learning to balance work and family life. Ryntz will receive her award in September at the Eighth Annual WAAI Professional Achievement Award Dinner at the Detroit Athletic Club.
“It’s a great honor for me, and for Visteon, to receive this award,” Ryntz said. “Recognition of one’s work is always gratifying, and I hope that this achievement award, as well as the other efforts of WAAI, inspire others to reach for their own definition of professional achievement and success.”
Ryntz has a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Wayne State University, a doctorate in polymer/organic chemistry from the University of Detroit, and a master’s in business administration from Michigan State University.
