Women in Manufacturing Association to host Moms in MFG virtual conference
- July 13, 2022
- News Release
- Shop Management
The Women in Manufacturing Association (WiM), Cleveland, will host its second annual Moms in MFG virtual event on August 11, 2022. Moms in MFG is an event series and year-round community focused on supporting mothers and caregivers who are working in manufacturing.
“WiM has been supporting women in the manufacturing sector for over a decade,” said WiM President Allison Grealis. “Through this work, we identified a need for content specifically for women who are balancing the demands of manufacturing and motherhood. The success of our inaugural Moms in MFG event proved that instinct right. Moms in MFG is a natural extension of WiM’s commitment to supporting women in the manufacturing sector in every aspect of their careers and lives.”
The theme of the 2022 conference is “Rise Together, Thrive Together,” in recognition of the event’s focus on community and collaboration. Attendees gather online—a format that allows participants to join from anywhere and fit the panel presentations and roundtable discussions into busy schedules.
Sponsored by Corning and Southwire Co., this year’s program includes numerous sessions: a report on the state of moms and caregivers in the industry; tips for becoming an advocate for yourself as a working parent or caregiver; a resiliency workshop; a panel discussion on corporate support for moms and caregivers; and roundtable discussions on battling burnout, balancing careers during the infant/toddler stages, balancing work and life, and the evolving roles of parenthood.
