Manufacturing Institute Recognizes Stacy
Kuszmaul and Deirdre Brockwell for Excellence in Manufacturing
USG Corporation (NYSE: USG), an industry-leading manufacturer of
building products and innovative solutions, announced today that
Stacy Kuszmaul, plant manager in Delavan, Wis., and Deirdre
Brockwell, staff researcher in Libertyville, Ill., were recognized
by The Manufacturing Institute as part of its annual Science,
Technology, Engineering and Production (STEP) Ahead Awards. This
marks the fifth consecutive year that a USG employee has received
this honor for her contributions to the manufacturing industry.
The STEP Ahead Awards honor women who have demonstrated
excellence and leadership in their careers and represent all levels
of the manufacturing industry, from the factory floor to the
C-suite. Awards are given in two categories each year: Honorees,
for their achievements and leadership at the very highest levels
within their companies, and Emerging Leaders, for women age 30 or
younger who have achieved success in the early years of their
careers. The Manufacturing Institute’s 2019 STEP Ahead class
includes Kuszmaul as a STEP Ahead Honoree and Brockwell as an
Emerging Leader.
“What really stands out about these two leaders is their passion
for manufacturing and their respective roles within our
organization. Stacy and Deirdre exemplify our values of integrity,
quality and service and the impact of their leadership is felt
across our organization and the broader industry,” said Joseph
Holmes, senior vice president of manufacturing, technology and
global operations for USG Corporation.
As a plant manager with more than 15 years’ experience at USG,
Kuszmaul plays an integral role in improving the manufacturing
processes for USG building products. She is recognized for her
operational acumen – particularly on new line startups – and has
been a key driver in the company’s Performance Materials
division.
Brockwell, a researcher in USG’s ceilings lab, develops early
stage concepts and conducts research that helps to expand USG’s
ceilings portfolio and respond to demands from architects,
designers and contractors. She is also a Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Green
Belt.
“Providing more opportunities for women in manufacturing is more
than just the right thing to do. At a time when manufacturers face
a workforce crisis, and with women still constituting less than a
third of manufacturing workers, it’s clearly critical to the future
of our industry and the economy,” said Carolyn Lee, executive
director of The Manufacturing Institute. “The Manufacturing
Institute’s STEP Ahead Awards—which provide today’s female leaders
in manufacturing the recognition they deserve while simultaneously
elevating role models that can inspire future generations to join
them—are an important element of our commitment to helping foster a
21st century manufacturing workforce by developing current leaders
and engaging future ones.”
The Manufacturing Institute will recognize Kuszmaul, Brockwell,
and their fellow STEP Ahead award recipients during a reception on
Thursday, April 11, in Washington, D.C. For more information about
