Cooper Standard‘s Norma Medina, senior advanced quality manager, has been recognized by The Manufacturing Institute as one of its 2018 STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Production) Ahead Award Honorees for her successful implementation of a world-class global quality process and involvement in Cooper Standard’s STEM activities.
“We applaud Norma on this well-deserved recognition,” said Bill Pumphrey, president, North America, Cooper Standard. “Along with her dedication and commitment, her leadership continues to further improve our manufacturing processes, and her ongoing commitment to our STEM activities is inspiring the next generation of manufacturing leaders.”
Through its STEP Ahead awards, The Manufacturing Institute honors women who have demonstrated excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels of the manufacturing industry. On April 10, The Manufacturing Institute will recognize Medina’s manufacturing leadership and accomplishments at an awards reception in Washington, D.C.
This is the second consecutive year that Cooper Standard has had a STEP Ahead Honoree. Brigit Anthony, vice president, North America Engineering, was honored in 2017. Both STEP Ahead honorees highlight Cooper Standard’s commitment to women in manufacturing, according to the company.
