Wendy Harris was honored at the 2023 Women MAKE Awards.

Due to her impact, Wendy was hand-selected to be a participant on a corporate team designed to improve female representation in operational leadership positions throughout the company. While Wendy is dedicated to developing both women and men equally, she has consistently served as a strong role model for emerging female leadership.
