...Becky is an experienced analyst in the Steel and Metals Industry.  Her many years on Wall Street give her a solid foundation for the financial aspects of the industry.  Her countless and continuing plant visits and personal contacts with most steel executives in this country and abroad have given her the insight that make her cost and production models extremely realistic and accurate.  Becky maintains very close and friendly contacts with her steel executive network which gives her access to information that would not normally be available to other analysts.  Her experience and personality bring a unique perspective to her work.  I have and would continue to rely on her analyses with a high degree of comfort and confidence.

...As a member of the advisory board for the MetCoke and EuroCoke conferences, we have invited Becky E Hites to participate as a panelist and keynote speaker. Is this the first time? No, whenever she can make it out of her busy schedule, we are more than happy to have her in.  It always add to the overall scope of the Conference.  There are more than one way to make one specific statement. Some people would do it under a formal manner but Becky does it in a very relaxed and enjoyable way that makes the audience happy to closely follow her words. Her presentations have always been insightful and thought provoking.  Her easy communication behavior makes side networking also insightful and allows for further strengthening the relationship amongst the attendants.  Having said that, and closing my eyes, I can recall her typical and recognizable laugh that tells everyone that she does enjoy what she is doing and openly shares this feeling with everybody.  Hope that Becky continues with the good work and be keen to join us whenever possible.

...Becky Hites is a formative advocate for Association of Women in the Metal Industries (AWMI). Her many contacts within the metal industry give her inside knowledge; how different products are made or what consumers do with the metal once received. She is able to use this information to help guide the New York chapter’s speaker choices for events the members will not only learn from but enjoy as well. Becky is able to connect with people on all levels with her quick wit and fantastic memory. Becky really enjoys meeting and talking with people and her enthusiastic attitude can be contagious when she is working on a project. Volunteers that have worked with Becky at the AWMI booth during different trade shows want to work with her again and again, she just makes it so much fun!
