Lina Mody
Owner and President LA Metal Stamping Toronto, Ontario, Canada
“We as women have a belief that drives our ambition to be not just okay, but rather the best we can be. We collectively can assist one another to strengthen businesses and support for a future group of women business leaders. Anything is possible in manufacturing. Our family business, which I lead, has become what it is because we grew with the right people in place. I was supported by a strong group of female peers, so every day I push forward any opportunity to guide the next woman business owner.”
Cassandra Murchison Quality Manager Quality Metal Stamping Henderson, TN
“Women in manufacturing can find rewarding and fascinating career opportunities. Manufacturing offers opportunities to utilize life skills such as prioritizing projects, nurturing others to grow and learn, goal setting, financial planning and safety management. For women who enjoy science and math, the opportunities are endless in manufacturing. Today’s manufacturing environment is an enriching adventure for women of all interests!”
Darci Ruggles
Quality & Continuous Improvement Manager
NSA Industries
St. Johnsbury, VT
“I have never looked at the path I wanted to take in manufacturing and thought I couldn’t do it because I was a woman. Manufacturing often involves new technology, working within many different industries, and working with many different people. It can be fast-paced, and there is always a problem to solve, a lesson to be learned and a way to make things better. Any woman or man can choose a manufacturing career for these reasons.”
