In a gathering celebrating the achievements and challenges faced by women in the manufacturing sector, the Independent Packaging Association (AICC) and the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) proudly hosted a Women’s Breakfast during this year’s annual meeting. With 40 inspiring women in attendance, the event provided a unique platform for sharing personal stories of success, resilience, and the common obstacles that many encounter throughout their careers.

The breakfast served as a vibrant forum where women from various sectors of the manufacturing industry came together to foster connections and exchange experiences. The atmosphere was filled with camaraderie, encouragement, and empowerment as participants engaged in meaningful conversations.

Throughout the event, several women shared their career milestones, showcasing how they have navigated the complexities of the industry. From breaking through glass ceilings to spearheading initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion, these stories served as powerful testaments to what women can achieve. Their successes inspired others, reinforcing the belief that with hard work and dedication, barriers can be overcome. 

This gathering underscored the significance of solidarity among women, emphasizing that together, they can create lasting change and foster a more inclusive environment in the industry.

With the momentum built from this breakfast, the journey toward greater representation and empowerment in manufacturing continues, driven by the collective voices of women who are ready to lead the way.
