have made significant achievements in manufacturing through their
positive impact on their companies and the industry as a
whole."
“I am deeply honored to be recognized as a 2016 STEP Ahead Award
recipient by The Manufacturing Institute,” said Marhevko. “I value
this opportunity to join my industry peers in encouraging women to
