Plan for MFG Day is Oct. 3, 2014

Illustrating what manufacturing is, and what it isn’t, is the purpose behind Manufacturing Day. I know the next MFG Day is not until Oct. 3, 2014, and that probably seems far off, but before you know it, the day will be here. Did you know that last year’s Manufacturing Day included more than 825 manufacturers, in 48 states, opening their doors to more than 35,000 guests.

• Will your facility be hosting an event?
• Did your company participate in the first two events?
• How do you see this helping the manufacturing industry?

Reports after the last event show the enthusiasm growing. Commenting right after MFG Day 2013 was Jay Timmons, NAM president and CEO, stating, “The robust response and participation in Manufacturing Day from across America shows manufacturers’ commitment to developing the talent needed for a 21st-century workforce. By opening shop floors to young and curious minds around the country, we are able to show that modern manufacturing is a technology-driven industry that offers secure, good-paying jobs and the ability to develop products that will change the world.”

I’d appreciate hearing what you have in mind for Oct. 3, 2014.
