Women in Manufacturing , Washington Chapter ( WiM WA )
Jessica is our talented and supportive leader to the WiM WA chapter . The chapter has an active presence and a good base of members in and around Washington .
WiM WA hosts some of the most amazing tours and events , which are integral to our Manufacturing FUNdamentals Series . Geared for our manufacturing community , the workshops and facility tours are extraordinary learning opportunities . We learn from the experts doing the day-to-day work . The benefit ? Seeing manufacturing operations up close , gaining new insights , and understanding the major functional groups within a manufacturing firm .

These events provide outstanding openings to expand and connect with our local networks , build valuable business relationships , and enjoy industry-related programming .
On a New Member Quarterly call with Jessica this past March , WiM WA regional co-directors Diane Gibson and Mariann Miller both asked , “ How do we get WiM events into the Spokane area ?” Jessica ’ s reply was “ volunteer .” We did ! Jessica and the WiM WA team helped us do what we needed to do , to make events happen for Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho .
