Influential Women in Manufacturing

Influential Women in Manufacturing is a program focused on recognizing and honoring women who are making a difference in the manufacturing space. Through April 10, 2020, nominations are being collected for the 2020 class of Influential Women in Manufacturing.

To be considered for the program, a potential nominee should have at least a few years of experience in the industry. Some of the other criteria we're looking for in an Influential Woman:

  • She has accomplished something that has moved the company, her department, or her team forward
  • She has fostered the growth of woman in manufacturing
  • She has had an impact on the people and/or processes of people around her.

Now Accepting Nominations for 2020 R&D Teams of the Year

Between now and mid-April, nominate a food or beverage processor’s R&D team in all of three sizes of firms: small (less than $100 million in sales), medium ($100-$500 million) and large (more than $500 million in sales).

Suggest any team or company you think is best. We also ask you to briefly explain why in a 125-word essay along with what the team does, how many people are involved and especially the significant developments (mostly products) of the past year—or soon to come. Don’t be modest: It’s OK to nominate your own team.

In April, we’ll look at the nominations, talk to the R&D teams involved, and develop a list of finalists which are then voted on by our readers.

To submit your nomination, e-mail Dave Fusaro, Editor in Chief
