STI's Diana Bradford Selected for LHMC Management Academy
August 1, 2017 | STI Electronics, Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Diana Bradford, vice president of operations/training resources at STI Electronics Inc., has been selected for the Leadership Huntsville/Madison County (LHMC) Management Academy.
The LHMC mission is to serve as a catalyst in identifying, educating, inspiring and connecting leaders to better serve the community. LHMC identifies proven and emerging leaders across all sectors of the community who have an interest in becoming more engaged. The academy provides in-depth education about issues in major sectors of the community and how they can impact progress. In 1987, the Chamber of Commerce Foundation of Huntsville/Madison County created Leadership 2000, chaired by The Huntsville Times publisher, William Cooper Green. Leadership 2000's purpose was to develop current and future leaders for the community, and its slogan was "The future belongs to those who shape it."
In 2011, Leadership added the Management Academy for affordable, local training of the community's business leaders, and Masters to help seasoned talent develop an active, meaningful retirement. Bradford was selected from a pool of candidates to be admitted to the Management Academy class that begins in August.
"Having Diana selected to participate in the Management Academy provides external confirmation of what I already knew, that it’s easy to see the drive and intelligence that Diana displays and utilizes every day during our company operations," said David Raby, STI President/CEO. "Her current skills and knowledge coupled with her potential for even greater growth and learning make her a perfect choice for this program."

Fresh PCB Concepts: Assembly Challenges with Micro Components and Standard Solder Mask Practices
06/26/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsMicro components have redefined what is possible in PCB design. With package sizes like 01005 and 0201 becoming more common in high-density layouts, designers are now expected to pack more performance into smaller spaces than ever before. While these advancements support miniaturization and functionality, they introduce new assembly challenges, particularly with traditional solder mask and legend application processes.
Knocking Down the Bone Pile: Tin Whisker Mitigation in Aerospace Applications, Part 3
06/25/2025 | Nash Bell -- Column: Knocking Down the Bone PileTin whiskers are slender, hair-like metallic growths that can develop on the surface of tin-plated electronic components. Typically measuring a few micrometers in diameter and growing several millimeters in length, they form through an electrochemical process influenced by environmental factors such as temperature variations, mechanical or compressive stress, and the aging of solder alloys.
