Atlanta, GA – November 18, 2025 – POWERS is proud to announce that Justin Pethick, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development, has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors for The STEAM Generation, a national nonprofit dedicated to advancing science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics education for students across the country.
The STEAM Generation works to close the opportunity gap by providing hands-on learning experiences, mentorship, and career exposure that inspire young people to pursue futures within high-skill, high-growth fields. The organization partners with schools, community programs, and industry leaders to equip the next generation with the curiosity, confidence, and capabilities needed to thrive. Its mission aligns directly with Justin’s personal commitment to expanding access to meaningful education and preparing students for the realities of a changing workforce.
In his role at POWERS, Justin leads strategic direction and growth initiatives that help manufacturers strengthen their operations, build higher-performing teams, and adopt digital tools that elevate frontline leadership.
His work bridges strategy, technology, and human capability, and he brings that same passion for developing people to his involvement with The STEAM Generation.
Justin’s election to the board reflects both his long-standing support of the organization and his belief that strong, capable communities begin with strong, capable students. The STEAM Generation is expanding its reach at a time when employers across the country are seeking individuals who possess technical skills, problem-solving ability, and the confidence to lead through uncertainty. Justin’s experience in industry, leadership development, digital transformation, and community engagement will play a key role in supporting the nonprofit’s continued growth.
"I am honored to join the Board of Directors for The STEAM Generation," Justin said. "I care deeply about preparing young people for the opportunities ahead of them and helping students gain access to the tools and support they need to succeed. The STEAM Generation does extraordinary work that empowers students to believe in what is possible and to build the skills that will carry them forward in life. I look forward to helping the organization grow its impact and reach even more students across the country."
Justin’s commitment to the organization has evolved over several years of involvement, including volunteering, mentorship, and support for programs that introduce students to real-world problem-solving and career pathways. As a board member, he will contribute to strategic planning, program development, fundraising initiatives, and relationship building within the industrial and technology sectors.
Sean Hart, CEO of POWERS, praised Justin for his dedication to community development and education.
"Justin is an exceptional leader whose ability to connect strategy with human performance has strengthened many of the organizations we serve. His passion for developing people and his belief in the potential of the next generation make him a powerful addition to the The STEAM Generation board. We are proud of him, and we know he will help advance a mission that creates real opportunity for students and families."
Justin’s appointment also reflects POWERS’ long-standing commitment to strengthening the communities where its team members live and work. The company regularly supports initiatives that expand access to education, build leadership capability, and promote pathways into rewarding careers within manufacturing and related industries. Justin’s new role provides an opportunity to further connect industry, education, and community partners in ways that support long-term economic growth and sustainable workforce development.
The STEAM Generation continues to expand its programs that introduce students to robotics, digital tools, critical thinking, and collaborative problem-solving.
These experiences not only build academic confidence but also cultivate the leadership qualities that employers value. By joining the board, Justin will help guide the organization through its next phase of advancement, focusing on scale, sustainability, and deeper partnerships across industry and education.
His appointment represents a shared belief between POWERS and The STEAM Generation that strong futures are built on strong foundations, and that every student deserves access to meaningful learning opportunities that unlock their potential.
