?? Reflecting on Women Lead NC Conference ?? With a gathering of over 1,200 participants at the #WomenLeadNC conference organized by NC Chamber, the air was electric with enthusiasm and a shared commitment to professional growth and empowerment. ?One of our Board Members – Marina Ivanov led a thought-provoking round table discussion on “Women in Male-Dominated Fields.” It was a dialogue filled with wisdom, experience, and a myriad of perspectives that spanned different generations. “I was especially inspired by the confidence and ambition of the younger attendees—it truly showcased how far we’ve come.” – Marina highlights. The need for continuous support and a strong network is as important as ever as we navigate through the unique challenges and triumphs that come with our professional journeys. The anticipation for next year’s conference is already bubbling, and we can't wait to see what new heights we will reach together! #WomenLeadNC #Empowerment #ProfessionalGrowth #Unity #Networking #Leadership #NCChamber #WomenInBusinessBusiness #womeninmfg #womeninmanufacturing #WiMNC #Chapter #NorthCarolina #NorthCarolinaWiMChapter?

"Today, there are nearly 500,000 job openings in manufacturing—higher than in 2000! Despite advancements in automation, AI, productivity, and pay, women make up only about 30% of the manufacturing workforce, even though they represent 47% of the U.S. workforce. According to the Manufacturers Alliance, 82% of men believe the industry is improving for women, but only 38% of women agree—revealing a critical gap in perception." Our North Carolina Board Director and the Sponsorship Chair - Lynn Kier along with a WiM ally, CEO & Co-Founder at Teamforce AI - Vivek Kumar are revealing the importance of experiencing the WiM Summit from a perspective where the roles are reversed to better understand the gaps and the needs of workers in today's manufacturing industry. #ally #allies #womeninmfg #womeninmanufacturing #WiMNC #Chapter #NorthCarolina #NorthCarolinaWiMChapter?

Men in Leadership—Attend Women in Manufacturing (WiM) SUMMIT 2024! Lynn Kier, former WiM Board Chair and current Board Member of the Women in Manufacturing Education Foundation, and I are encouraging you to attend at least one WiM SUMMIT to support women forging careers in manufacturing. It’s time to experience things from their perspective. Why? Until you attend, you might not fully understand the challenges they face. Last year, I found myself among a handful of men in a room filled with thousands of women, trying to join their conversations. It made me realize how they might feel every day in a male-dominated industry. From a business standpoint, this matters. Today, there are nearly 500,000 job openings in manufacturing—higher than in 2000! Despite advancements in automation, AI, productivity, and pay, women make up only about 30% of the manufacturing workforce, even though they represent 47% of the U.S. workforce. According to the Manufacturers Alliance, 82% of men believe the industry is improving for women, but only 38% of women agree—revealing a critical gap in perception. At last year’s WiM SUMMIT, I was honored to moderate a panel with Kristen Pforr, Catherine (Cat) Ross, and Christa Degnan Manning. I was deeply inspired by keynote speakers like Sara Liang Bowen and Jennifer Radtke, and gained valuable insights from industry fellows like Kylene Zenk, MBA, SHRM-CP. But the most transformative moments for me came during informal conversations—stepping outside my comfort zone and feeling like I was the one who had to 'fit in.' How can we support more women in manufacturing? We show up. We listen. We learn. And we celebrate their contributions. The next WiM SUMMIT takes place from October 6 - 9, 2024, in Boston. Last year, I encouraged my friend, Rahil Siddiqui, to attend with his team—they even set up a booth, and they’ll be back again this year! Let’s continue inspiring more men (and women) to join the movement and support Women in Manufacturing.
