The Packaging & Processing Women's Leadership Network (PPWLN)—sponsored by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies—will host anexclusive breakfast featuring Tana L. Utley，卡特彼勒（Caterpillar）副总裁，9月26日星期二上午7:30在拉斯维加斯（Pack Las Vegas）举行的Pack博览会。这项活动是PPWLN持续努力解决制造业劳动力中性别差距的一部分，通过吸引，发展，保留和推进包装中的妇女和处理。乌特利（Utley）将在她的主题演讲“玻璃天花板上的舞蹈”中讨论这个关键的行业问题，并分享策略，以充分利用制造业中女性的丰富机会以及如何回馈。
"Tana Utley's experiences at Caterpillar and her wealth of knowledge will resonate with women in packaging and processing," said Tracy Stout, vice president of marketing and communications for PMMI. "Her unique experience in manufacturing will inform and inspire all who attend this special event."
Since joining Caterpillar in 1986, Utley has progressed from a working-level engineer to a vice president and head of Caterpillar's Large Power Systems Division—thanks in part to a clear vision of her own value proposition and a definition of success that includes personal balance. Her technical career has been focused primarily on solving the challenges of reducing diesel engine emissions in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and equivalent global regulations. She has played a number of key engineering and leadership roles in the development of the near-zero-emissions engines Caterpillar sells today. She has also held general management positions in Caterpillar's components and engines businesses.
"A key factor in women's advancement is creating effective networks and learning how to leverage them," Stout said. "This event is an exciting opportunity for women in the industry to hear from a driven, accomplished leader as well as connect with their peers."
