Putman Media, publisher of Control magazine and ControlGlobal.com, announced the 2020 class of Influential Women in Manufacturing (IWIM). The third annual class of IWIM consists of 20 women who were selected for their leadership in manufacturing.
The honorees were selected from 88 nominations submitted between January 1 and April 10. Honorees were selected by a judges panel of seven Putman Media editors and five IWIM alumni, who reviewed and voted on the submissions.
“We’re honored to welcome these 20 women into the third annual class of Influential Women in Manufacturing. Their nominations—and the people who nominated them—remind us that with determination and passion for progress, anything is possible,” says John Cappelletti, CEO of Putman Media.
