What's the WiM Hall of Fame?
The Hall of Fame was created in 2019 by the Women in Manufacturing Association (WiM) to recognize women who have made renowned contributions to the manufacturing industry with their efforts to support, promote and inspire women in manufacturing.
“The 13 honorees who make up our third-ever class are a prestigious group, each of whom has made significant, lasting contributions to our industry,” said WiM and Women in Manufacturing Education Foundation (WiMEF) President Allison Grealis. “They are true trailblazers whose work has created opportunity for countless other women. We are honored to recognize them in this special way.”
