It is no secret that American manufacturers have long struggled to attract women to their professional offices and shopfloors. While we've heard the stories from women who have reached the pinnacle of success, we struggle to find a clear path to replicate that success. And women in manufacturing face larger uphill battles from the breakroom to the Board room than male peers. 

Join us in Chicago for a luncheon forum with keynote speaker Randi Braun, a Wall Street Journal best-selling author, certified executive coach, and CEO of the leadership firm, Something Major. Randi will share how women can own their leadership roles and discuss women's "Inner Critic," self-doubt, and self-empowerment.

Manufacturers Alliance Foundation will also report on the latest publication, In Her Own Words: Breaking the Glass Ceiling is Good for Business, a collection of first-person interviews and survey data dedicated to sharing the stories of female leaders and evolving the industry culture to support diverse talent in manufacturing. The last session will feature Yvette Henry, Senior Vice President of Strategic Sourcing at Regal Rexnord, Emily Pajek, General Manager of Euclid Consumables at Lincoln Electric, and Meenal Sethna, Executive Vice President & CFO at Littelfuse, sharing their advice for company executives and attendees with a moderated Q&A session.

Registration Fees

Registration fees include lunch, networking, both sessions, and a copy of Randi Braun's book, Something Major: The New Playbook for Women at Work.

Luncheon Seat: $125
