The Georgia Manufacturing Alliance, founded in 2008, celebrated 15 years of serving Georgia’s manufacturers, and manufacturing executives and personnel, during a Feb. 21 Gala at Sweetwater Brewing Company in Atlanta.
Jason Moss, CEO of GMA, said the celebration was “a wonderful gathering of the people who have guided this journey and made GMA what it is today.”
From its grassroots beginnings in 2008 to the powerful influence, education and networking GMA provides its members today, Moss credits the organization’s success to the guidance, partnerships and mentors that have worked together to grow and strengthen Georgia’s manufacturing community.
During the celebration, Moss took the opportunity to thank key individuals who have helped build GMA into the influential organization it has become, one that educates and informs manufacturing personnel and works to attract new facilities to Georgia.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp commended GMA for its strong partnership and presence in Georgia manufacturing. The commendation was presented by Melvin Everson and Rep. Matt Reeves.
The Above and Beyond Award was presented to three active GMA chapter directors Laura Madajewski, Henry Levine and Bill Stankiewicz for their extraordinary dedication to growing and strengthening the manufacturing community in Georgia and the influence of GMA.
Clyde Strickland, founder of Metro Waterproofing, one of the most successful companies serving the construction industry in the Southeastern U.S., received the Friend and Mentor Award. Strickland is also a champion of the “Made in America” initiative.
