(NYSE: CNR), the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America, announces Heather Hollis, Director of Marketing, Commercial Business Unit, will receive the Women in Manufacturing 2021 STEP (Science, Technology, Engineering and Production) Ahead Award from The Manufacturing Institute.

She is known as a talent developer and has a created a legacy of advancing team members to new levels and roles. In addition to her work for the company, Hollis is a wife, a mother of two and supports the community through the Kiwanis International Foundation, where she develops the leaders of tomorrow by working with local students.

"It's an honor to represent not only Cornerstone Building Brands, but all the women in the manufacturing industry," said Hollis. "Supporting and developing the many incredible women and men on my team and in the business and seeing them flourish is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job every day."

"Heather has greatly benefited not only our company, but the industry as a whole as we work to increase and elevate women in manufacturing. Her commitment to others is inspiring and exemplifies our company's purpose of contributing positively to the communities where we live, work and play."

Cornerstone Building Brands continues to actively live up to our commitment to attract, retain and develop great female talent. Among other things, the company has established a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council, and participation in employee resource groups, including one dedicated to supporting women at every level of the organization, is growing.

Hollis will be recognized at the annual Women in Manufacturing STEP Ahead Awards Gala, which will be held in Washington, D.C. on November 4, 2021 and honor 130 women who represent the past, present and future of women manufacturers.

"Women in manufacturing proved themselves time and time again after the pandemic began, leading our industry in innovation and progress," said Carolyn Lee, Manufacturing Institute Executive Director. "The skills gap persisted throughout the pandemic, but STEP Ahead honorees like Heather are helping us close that gap—they'll play a crucial role in bringing more talented, motivated women into manufacturing."
