Join WiM Western Michigan for a lunch and learn with Ana Kraft, Founder and CEO of Xena Workwear for Women. 

Ana is the founder and CEO of Xena Workwear, a company dedicated to designing stylish safety boots and functional apparel for women in STEM and trades. Frustrated with the ill-fitting workwear available to women in manufacturing, she set out to create a new category of workwear that enhances both confidence and safety. Ana's inspiring story centers on these three key topics - turning frustration into motivation, why women's PPE matters, attracting and retaining women in demanding roles.

Participants will also be entered in a raffle to win a pair of Xena boots ($200 value)!

We can't wait to see you there!
