The Women in Manufacturing Association (WiM) and the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), two of the nation's leading organizations committed to advancing women in industry, have announced a new partnership. This collaboration will provide enhanced benefits to their members, fostering growth and connectivity for women in the manufacturing and engineering sectors.
To celebrate this partnership, WiM and SWE are offering a special membership discount to individuals who purchase memberships to both organizations. The initiative aims to encourage shared access to resources, learning opportunities and professional networks between the two communities, further driving the effort for growth and advancement of women in traditionally male-dominated fields.
"At WiM, we are thrilled to partner with SWE as both organizations share a deep commitment to advancing women in the workforce," said Allison Grealis, founder and President of WiM. "This collaboration will help us strengthen our mission of promoting, supporting and inspiring women who have chosen a career in the manufacturing space."
The timing of this partnership is especially significant, as both organizations are celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2025. While WiM marks its 15th year of championing women in manufacturing, SWE celebrates 75 years of empowering women engineers across the globe.
"The work of both our organizations is mission-critical to the industry and women engineers worldwide-now, more than ever," said Karen Horting, CEO and Executive Director of SWE. "Our theme this year is 'Together, We Rise,' a fitting sentiment for this new partnership and the promise of what we can accomplish in the years ahead. This partnership will further elevate the impact of both organizations by uniting professionals across manufacturing and all of engineering, encouraging cross-sector collaboration and strengthening efforts to ensure women are recognized as vital contributors to manufacturing and engineering success."
