Welcome to our newest local WiMI Committee, MCA of Cleveland!

 
MCA of Cleveland’s local WiMI Committee hosted their first meeting last week with 16 women in attendance. Their group included women from Local 55, Welders, Accounting, Project Management and Service Management. Sommer Mann, MAPIC Cleveland lead the group’s discussion about WiMI and how it could benefit us on a local level. One of the committees’ goals is to focus on getting more women involved in the mechanical industry and how they can reach out to younger generations to show them there is a place for women in this industry. They will be hosting their next meeting at the end of April. 

We are so excited to have MCA of Cleveland’s local WiMI Committee on board!  

MCAMW Local WiMI Committee Continues to Grow

The Women in the Mechanical Industry (WiMI) Washington, DC Committee started in 2018 with 8 members and has grown to 63 members in 2023. Guided by Chair Ellen Geiling, and with support from committee member Ashey Hayes of Southland Industries, they hope to continue to increase their membership by the end of the year. MCAMW WiMI has hosted several events over the past year. Last year they hosted their first annual Leadership Summit. With over 30 attendees, the summit provided an amazing opportunity for women to meet and support their industry peers. With much appreciated assistance from Nichelle Lenhardt and Danielle Duffy with the MCA of Metropolitan Washington, they plan to host the second Leadership Summit at the Turf Valley Resort this May.
