and Influence Policy Celebrate Excellence
in Manufacturing
MMA does more than talk about talent
solutions — we’re implementing a proven
solution to meet your company’s unique
needs. Learn about the PRIME program and
how your business can create a reliable
talent pipeline from the school to the facility
floor. Contact Mike Johnston, at 517-487 -
8554 or [email protected], to learn
about PRIME’s progress in your town. Want to help provide direction on policy
to improve your bottom line? Your
membership offers anyone on your team
the chance to participate through MMA
Policy Committees. Is energy your top
cost? Do environmental regulations hurt
your business? Is talent a pressing
priority? Contact Bailey Judson, at
517-487-8552 or [email protected], to
register for these and other Committees. In manufacturing, excellence can make all
the difference. Hear Michigan’s most amazing
manufacturing stories at the MFG Excellence
Awards on 11/9/17 in Lansing. This black-tie
affair brings together manufacturing’s past,
present and future for an evening of
celebration. See page 9 for more.
