The Packaging & Processing Women's Leadership Network (PPWLN) — sponsored by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies — will host an exclusive breakfast featuring Tana L. Utley, vice president, Caterpillar Inc., at PACK EXPO Las Vegas on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 a.m. This event is part of PPWLN's ongoing efforts to address the gender gap in the manufacturing workforce by attracting, developing, retaining and advancing women in packaging and processing. Utley will discuss this critical industry issue during her keynote presentation, "Dancing on the Glass Ceiling," as well as share strategies for making the most of the abundant opportunities that exist for women in the manufacturing industry — and how to give back.

"Tana Utley's experiences at Caterpillar and her wealth of knowledge will resonate with women in packaging and processing," says Tracy Stout, vice president, marketing and communications, PMMI. "Her unique experience in manufacturing will inform and inspire all who attend this special event."
