**MEET THE SPEAKER** #ManufacturingMonday IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show is just around the corner, and if you're looking for what discussions to attend, you won't want to miss "Collaboration - What Does Support Look Like?" This discussion will feature Aneesa Muthana, CEO of Pioneer Service Inc. and CEO of M&M Quality Grinding. One of our favorite quotes from Aneesa is, "If you're trying to empower one race or one gender at the expense of someone else, you're dividing. And dividing is not advocacy." Aneesa will share more of her insights at the Manufacturing Ally Rally on Thursday, Sept 12 at 11:00 am in the #SmartforceStudentSummit, booth number 121140. Key takeaways from the conversation include: • Mutual Respect and Empathy: Recognize the importance of mutual respect and empathy in fostering supportive relationships and allyship within the manufacturing community. • Shared Responsibility: Understand that allyship and collaboration require shared responsibility and active participation from all stakeholders, including manufacturers, employees, educators, and community members. • Inclusive Practices: Explore inclusive practices and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within manufacturing organizations, such as inclusive hiring practices, employee resource groups, and diversity training programs. • Advocacy and Amplification: Discuss the role of allies in advocating for underrepresented individuals, amplifying their voices, and actively working to dismantle barriers to inclusion and advancement within the industry. • Building Bridges: Learn about the importance of building bridges and forming partnerships with diverse stakeholders, including community organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies, to address systemic challenges and drive positive change in manufacturing.
