The annual STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Ahead
Awards and Gala on Thursday, April 11 in Washington, D.C. honored women in
manufacturing for their contributions to the sector. FLATE congratulates all the women honored
this year and past years for their persistence and hard work supporting the
manufacturing industry. We encourage Florida companies to consider nominating women for this national recognition in order to inspire future generations to follow their role models and choose careers in the manufacturing industry.
Earlier this year, The Manufacturing Institute (MI) announced
the recipients of the 2019 awards: 130 women
from 101 different companies who will receive this national honor for their professional
achievements and their commitment to their communities. These women hold jobs
everywhere from the factory floor to the C-suite, proving that manufacturing
offers a home to ambitious women of all backgrounds, talents and interests. The STEP Awardees spend a day together for
leadership development and networking in conjunction with the awards
banquet. Additionally, they all sign the
STEP Ahead Pledge which encourages women in manufacturing to promote the importance of a diverse workforce in the industry, commit to encouraging women into manufacturing, and helping them succeed. Related to the pledge, STEP Ahead supports several regional networking events every year around the country.
For more information about the program or about future
nominations, please email MI’s Assistant Vice President of Strategic Program
Engagement AJ Jorgenson at ajorgenson@nam.org
