Spotlight on PMA
Nashville to Host Women in Manufacturing Summit, Followed by 1st Annual Mfg/Suppliers Night
Scheduled for October 7, 2016, MFG Day is an opportunity for manufacturers to connect with future generations, take charge of the public image of manufacturing and ensure the ongoing prosperity of the industry. Visit www.mfgday.com for details.
PMA is proud to sponsor the 6th annual Women in Manufacturing Summit, September 19-21, 2016, in Nashville, TN. This year’s theme is “MFGredefined,” and the agenda highlights all of the aspects of manufacturing that make it a top career choice for women. The program includes keynote presentations featuring speakers from Etsy Manufacturing, Coca-Cola Co., the U.S. Congress and more; roundtable discussions on industry topics; social events; and plant tours—General Motors, Bridgestone, Nissan or the Tennessee Bun Co. Visit www.womeninmanufacturing.org/summit for conference details and registration information.
PMA encourages member companies to participate by hosting an event in their communities on October 7. PMA’s website, www.pma.org, will have resources available in September that can assist companies in highlighting metalforming careers during their MFG Day events.
Immediately following the Summit, the PMA Tennessee District will host its 1st annual MFG/Suppliers Night, on September 22 at the Holiday Inn Nashville Airport. Suppliers and manufacturers from around the region will display the latest in metalforming technology. Exhibits open at 4 p.m.; at 7 p.m. attendees will hear a presentation on the R&D Tax Credit from Scott Schmidt of the Black Line Group.
