So Cal NTMA She Leads

The So Cal NTMA She Leads Program is dedicated to connecting, supporting, and empowering women across the precision manufacturing industry. As part of the Southern California chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association (NTMA), She Leads creates meaningful opportunities for women at every stage of their careers—from students and emerging professionals to experienced leaders, business owners, and executives.

Our mission is to foster a collaborative community where women can build lasting professional relationships, exchange knowledge, develop leadership skills, and inspire the next generation of manufacturing professionals. Through educational programs, networking events, facility tours, panel discussions, mentorship opportunities, and professional development workshops, She Leads provides members with valuable resources to help them thrive both personally and professionally.

Precision manufacturing is driven by innovation, collaboration, and skilled talent. By bringing together women from across the industry—including manufacturers, suppliers, educators, and strategic partners—She Leads strengthens our regional manufacturing community while encouraging diverse perspectives and new ideas that fuel long-term success.

She Leads is more than a networking group—it is a community of professionals committed to supporting one another, celebrating achievements, sharing experiences, and creating opportunities for growth. Whether you are new to manufacturing or have spent decades in the industry, you will find a welcoming environment where connections become collaborations and conversations lead to lasting impact.

Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive manufacturing workforce by investing in leadership, encouraging innovation, and inspiring future generations to explore rewarding careers in precision manufacturing.

Join us as we connect, learn, lead, and shape the future of precision manufacturing—together.
