Remembering Jeanne Schweder

For regular visitors to Automation World, the name Jeanne Schweder will ring familiar. She has been a regular contributor for more than a decade following her work in the B2B public relations industry working on projects for companies such as Graybar, Schneider Electric, SEW Eurodrive and Siemens.

Jeanne’s knowledge of industry and industrial automation technologies made her a valued contributor to Automation World. Beyond those technical qualifications, Jeanne was simply a great person to work with and always ready with her big laugh.

Jeanne passed last week surrounded by her family. She will be missed.
