I asked her what she thought was the biggest benefit of being part of an organization like WIM: “WIM has been invaluable for my professional growth. Beyond connecting with other like-minded women and men in the manufactur- ing space, there’s tremendous opportunity in manufactur- ing right now. It’s a unique industry; manufacturers tend to keep their heads down and focus on getting the job done rather than promoting themselves. They’re not always the loudest voices in the room or on social media about how fantastic and important their work is.

“Being part of WIM lets me see behind the scenes and connect with people and companies I might have never discovered otherwise. You see firsthand, real stories about remarkable families and individuals keeping everything running. They’re incredibly inspiring. You can learn so much just by sitting in the back of a room or getting the chance to tour a plant.” One of the more surprising things Mady said she gained from her WIM experience was her ability to better connect with her sister: “I learned about WIM through a friend from networking. We were discussing how my sister is a welder and that my company works with manufacturers. He pointed out how much my sister and I would benefit from the support and community that WIM provides. Beyond work, I can now talk to my sister about her day-to-day experience with genuine insight into what she’s navigating, and I can understand For Acme, hosting the event was an opportunity to pull back the curtain on a modern boxmaking operation. For WIM members, it was a chance to see it all in action and gain a deeper appreciation for the technology, people, and processes that drive the corrugated industry. It was also a reminder of the perspective that comes from step- ping outside your own corner of manufacturing. WIM gives its members exposure to industries they may never otherwise encounter, opportunities to learn from professionals facing similar challenges, and relationships that can support them throughout their careers. It exists to support professional development, but it succeeds be- cause it builds genuine community. On this particular day, that community happened to connect over corrugated. her perspective on a deeper level.” The Value Of Career Community Tracy Canter, a 24-year veteran of Acme, radiated enthusiasm for her work as she shared about her time with the company.
