1 2017 STEP AHEAD Media Kit
2 Dear Reader, This media kit has been designed to introduce you to the STEP Ahead initiative and awards and help you develop a media plan that leverages The Manufacturing Institute s national communications strategy. STEP Ahead is a growing grassroots movement of manufacturers dedicated to overcoming the shared challenges facing manufacturers today. The most pressing issue facing manufacturers is a gap in skilled labor: 84 percent of executives agree there is a talent shortage in U.S. manufacturing, and six out of ten open skilled production positions are unfilled due to the talent shortage. Part of the skills gap is the underrepresentation of women in the industry. While women make up approximately 47 percent of the labor force, that number is only about 27 percent in the manufacturing labor force. With the looming talent shortage, the industry has an opportunity to mitigate the gap by encouraging more women join the ranks of manufacturing employees. STEP Ahead gives manufacturers an opportunity to raise awareness of these issues and to begin to address them by showcasing their talent. Through this collective effort, STEP Ahead draws public attention to manufacturing s present-day reality and encourages job seekers to develop the skills they need to qualify for a long-term career in this secure and growing sector of the economy. This media kit provides information about the movement, including links to key online resources, a sample press release, and provides manufacturing facts and graphics. Please also visit to learn more about the 2017 STEP Ahead Awards. If you need additional information or resources, we encourage you to STEPAhead@nam.org. Thank you for your support.
3 STEP Ahead Overview Manufacturing faces a serious skills gap. Part of this gap is the underrepresentation of women in the industry. Women make up about 47 percent of the labor force, but only 27 percent of the manufacturing workforce. To help improve upon this, The Manufacturing Institute is promoting the role of women in manufacturing through the STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Production) Ahead initiative, which serves to mentor and recognize women while also leading research efforts tackling this important topic. The Manufacturing Institute launched the STEP Ahead initiative in 2012 to celebrate women in the manufacturing industry that are making a difference through advocacy, mentorship, engagement, promotion, and leadership. The STEP Ahead Awards highlight the achievements of real women in manufacturing on a national stage with a formal gala to celebrate their accomplishments. The 2017 STEP Ahead Awards will take place from April 19 through April 21, with the Awards Dinner Gala on the night of April 20 in Washington, D.C. This coming year, the STEP Ahead theme is IMPACT. STEP Ahead women all across the U.S. have made a pledge to promote the importance of women in manufacturing. In 2017, The Institute will showcase the impact these women have had throughout the years in their companies, in their communities, and with themselves.

5 STEP Ahead FAQ What are the STEP Ahead Awards? The STEP Ahead Awards celebrate women who have demonstrated Science, Technology, Engineering and Production excellence in manufacturing. The STEP Ahead Awards recognizes women and their achievements at all levels of a manufacturing organization, from the factory floor to the C-suite. How were the Honorees selected? Honorees were nominated by their peers, company officials, or professional service firms. Nominators were asked to articulate how the nominee made significant achievements in manufacturing through their positive impact on a company and the manufacturing industry as a whole. Nominators also had to explain, and support with specific outcomes, the contributions the nominee made to her company as a leader. Nominators qualified the specific technical contributions the nominee made, considering outcomes like increased revenues, reduced costs, greater productivity, improved customer satisfaction, and development of employee talent, etc. How many Honorees are there? There are 130 Honorees from over 93 companies; this includes Honorees and Emerging Leaders (women under 30 years of age). They represent all levels of manufacturing, and show the diversity of manufacturing careers. The Honorees companies are of all sizes and represent varying sectors of manufacturing. Why are you recognizing women in manufacturing? Manufacturing faces a serious skills gap. Part of this skills gap can be attributed to an underrepresentation of women in the industry. While women make up approximately 47% of the labor force, that number is only about 27% in the manufacturing labor force. What can these women do to help that? By telling the real stories of these women, we will demonstrate leadership and opportunities in a diversity of manufacturing careers and use them to inspire the next-generation of talent to pursue careers in the industry. The STEP Awards are also meant to empower Honorees to lead in their companies, communities, and networks on the importance of manufacturing and issues related to attracting, advancing, and retaining strong manufacturing talent. When and where are the STEP Awards? The 2017 STEP Ahead Awards will take place from April 19 through April 21, with the Awards Dinner Gala on the night of April 20 at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. Who should attend the STEP Awards? The STEP Awards are meant for anyone who supports women manufacturers, and would like to help close the gender gap in manufacturing. This includes manufacturers, educators, media, civic leaders, and local communities.

The STEP Ahead Awards honor women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels of the manufacturing industry, from the factory-floor to the C suite. QUOTE from Honoree QUOTE from Company Executive These women exemplify the path an exciting career in manufacturing can take, said Heidi Alderman, 2017 Chair of STEP Ahead and Senior Vice President of Intermediates North America, BASF Corporation.

9 Talking Points U.S. Manufacturing and the Skills Gap Manufacturers power the economy. Investments in manufacturing multiply across the economy, creating jobs and growth in other sectors. o Every dollar in final sales of manufactured products supports $1.37 in output from other sectors the largest multiplier of any sector. To ensure continued success, we must focus on two drivers: innovation and a skilled talent pipeline. According to U.S. manufacturing executives, a skilled, educated workforce is the single most critical element of innovation success, but the hardest asset to acquire. Today, 80 percent of manufacturers can t find the skilled workers they need. o Part of this skills gap can be attributed to an underrepresentation of women in the industry. o While women make up approximately 47% of the labor force, but only about 27% in the manufacturing labor force. STEP Ahead In 2012, The Manufacturing Institute launched the Science, Technology, Engineering and Production (STEP) initiative to honor and promote the role of women in the manufacturing industry through recognition, research, and leadership. The STEP Awards, part of the larger STEP Ahead initiative, were launched to examine and promote the role of women in manufacturing. The STEP Awards celebrate women who have demonstrated excellence in manufacturing. They are the best of the best; only a fraction of the female talent in the industry. The STEP Awards recognizes women and their achievements at all levels of a manufacturing organization, from the factory floor to the C-suite. Honorees were nominated by their peers, company officials, or professional service firms. This year, there are 130 Honorees and Emerging Leaders (women under 30) from over 100 companies. To date, more than 400 women have been recognized as Honorees. o Emerging Leaders connect tomorrow s leaders with today s mentors, creating a talent pipeline for decades to come. By telling the real stories of these women, we inspire the next-generation of talent to pursue careers in the industry and encourage current female talent within the manufacturing industry. We are empowering Honorees as ambassadors of the manufacturing industry to lead in their companies, communities, and networks on the importance of manufacturing and talent issues. STEP Ahead calls upon these women to advocate for the manufacturing industry, mentor young women/girls with the National Girls Collaborative Project, engage an affinity group to generate ideas and share best practices, promote personal development, and lead as an ambassador for manufacturing education.

11 SAMPLE COMPANY STORY For Internal Newsletters/Websites/Etc On April 20, The Manufacturing Institute recognized NAME of HONOREE as well as 129 other women in Washington, D.C. as recipients of the fifth-annual Women in Manufacturing STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Ahead Awards. The STEP Ahead Awards honor women at all manufacturing levels who have demonstrated leadership and excellence in their careers. These women exemplify the path an exciting career in manufacturing can take, said Heidi Alderman, 2017 Chair of STEP Ahead and Senior Vice President of Intermediates North America, BASF Corporation. "STEP Ahead recognizes women nationwide for their significant achievements to the field of manufacturing, and the positive impact on their companies and the industry as a whole." The STEP Ahead Awards are part of the larger STEP Ahead initiative launched to promote the role of women in manufacturing through recognition and research. The stories of these women and the leadership they show will help inspire next generation female leaders in manufacturing and support current female talent within the industry. The manufacturing industry is currently experiencing a shortage of women in the workforce, representing only 27 percent of the manufacturing labor force.
