To qualify for the 2019 IWIM class, her age or her role in the company do not factor in; however, she should have done something or is doing something that fosters the growth of other women in manufacturing. Our judges look at what she’s accomplished that has moved her company, department, or team forward. The entries should also explain how she’s influential or how she’s demonstrated thought leadership.
