Honda R&D Engineer Reflects on the Power of Mobility in Her Role as Product Development Leader

Description

Lara Harrington learned the transformative power of mobility at a young age. Growing up outside of Dayton, Ohio, the chief engineer at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. learned from her parents how the simple ability to move safely from one point to another could have a profound impact on someone's life."My mother was raised in rural Tennessee and when they built a road that connected her town to other towns, she suddenly had the opportunity to transform her life by going to college," said Harrington, who is featured in the latest What Makes a Honda is Who Makes a Honda video series. "I realized at a young age the power of mobility and how it makes peoples' lives better."With Honda for 27 years, Harrington led development of the 2019 Honda Pilot, becoming the first woman in Honda to fulfill this top product-development role."My job is to understand the customer's needs first and foremost and to exceed their expectations in the product," Harrington said. "Having a diverse team of associates ensures different points of view and experiences are ultimately represented in the product development process."

Many people have suffered physical harm. 1,800 have filed complaints about torture in detention centers and prisons."Translation 3: "Lukashenko is taking some timid steps and trying to create the illusion of change to meet the Kremlin's expectations. But really, we must understand that this person (Lukashenko), like any dictator, wants to stay in power until the last day of their life".Translation 4: "In our possession there is a secret document ordering members of the police, the KGB and the Army to form mobile brigades to crush the protests this spring. That is to say, once again, Lukashenko orders to the Army to participate in the repression of peaceful protests. "Translation 5: "That is, the extermination of the Belarusian people takes place. And Europe? Europe is in solidarity. Can solidarity be the only instrument for action? Why has a high-level group not yet been created in the EU for the beginning of the dialogue with Moscow and Minsk for the solution of the situation in Belarus? Why has the European Union not yet adopted sanctions against the regime, its portfolios, policemen, prosecutors, members of the security forces who torture Belarusians? "Translation 6: "Seven months have passed. And, so far, no real instruments of pressure on the regime have been adopted. Lukashenko, as a person, is afraid.

On March 25 we will celebrate an act that we will call" For Freedom "that will be related to a historical date for the People's Republic of Belarus (anniversary of its short-lived independence from the Russian Empire in 1918). Of course, Belarusians who take to the streets, and not only in Minsk, but also in other cities, take risks. The authorities are preparing provocations. They have already reported the discovery of TNT and weapons. All that is propaganda. " .
