Women Breaking the Mold nominations open

Women are changing our industries.

They're innovating with big ideas and breakthroughs, leading with fresh perspectives and critical insights, and all the while challenging the status quo. They're making our companies and our industries stronger.

And that's worth celebrating.

This year, Rubber News will do exactly that with our Women Breaking the Mold Class of 2023. The honor is intended to recognize and celebrate women across the industry who make a difference in their companies and communities with their leadership, innovation and community service, to name just a few.

Nominations for the Women Breaking the Mold honor will be accepted through July 14.

Nomination forms are available online at rubbernews.com/wbm-nomination. Self nominations are accepted.

There is no limit to the number of nominations for any given company, but no more than three representatives per company will be chosen for the honor. Those selected to be included in this year's class of Women Breaking the Mold honorees will be featured in the Sept. 18 issue of Rubber News. 

After the nomination process is complete, those selected for this year's class will be contacted and asked to fill out a profile form, which will serve as the basis for their feature in the Sept. 18 print issue of Rubber News. They also will be recognized during the 2023 Women Breaking the Mold Networking Forum.

The networking forum, set for Nov. 13-14 in Scottsdale, Ariz., is open to everyone across the industry, not just those included in the 2023 Women Breaking the Mold class of honorees.

The event program, co-organized by Rubber News and Plastics News, is intended to help inspire and empower women throughout our industries with presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions and networking opportunities.

Registration for the Women Breaking the Mold Networking Forum is open and can be made online along with hotel accommodations. Details are available at the event website.
