Women in Manufacturing Hall of Fame

Since it's inception in 2020, we have been proud to recognize our Women in Manufacturing Hall of Fame inductees, honoring women who have, over the course of their careers, made exceptional contributions to the manufacturing industry and to the advancement of women in the field. These 47 inductees embody WiM’s mission of supporting, promoting, and inspiring women in the manufacturing industry. Inductees were nominated
by their colleagues and industry peers and selected by a judging panel of WiM Education Foundation (WiMEF) Board Members as well as WiM staff. The inductees were chosen based on their significant professional impact and their ongoing contributions to the advancement of women in manufacturing.
