[New Release] Connect, Share, Inspire: Voices of Women in Packaging and Processing
|
To help women identify opportunities, recognize obstacles, and navigate a career in manufacturing, the Packaging & Processing Women’s Leadership Network (PPWLN) and OpX Leadership Network, teamed up to deliver the new digital work product: Connect, Share, Inspire: Voices of Women in Packaging and Processing.

“There is so much opportunity for women in the manufacturing and packaging space, yet so many obstacles still to overcome,” says Stephanie Neil, editor-in-chief of OEM magazine. “Whether it’s fighting for pay parity or a promotion, it’s important for women to leverage some basic skillsets that will help them maneuver this male-dominated industry. The collaboration between PPWLN and the OpX Leadership Network is a first step in a larger effort underway to attract more women to this field while giving them the tools to succeed.”

The collaborative work of PPWLN, which serves to advance women’s careers in packaging and processing, and the OpX Leadership Network, combines cross-functional knowledge and information with a single goal in mind – to show how instrumental people are to the manufacturing and packaging process, and how meaningful this journey is for the women who are here today—and who have yet to come aboard.
The Connect, Share, Inspire: Voices of Women in Packaging and Processing work product, as well as other industry solutions, are available for free download at: https://www.opxleadershipnetwork.org

What led you to pursue a career in this industry?
I fell into this industry while attending Michigan State University. I had taken many engineering courses and was looking for something different but did not know what I wanted to pursue. Finding the packaging engineering program was the best thing that ever happened to me.
