18 MiMfg Magazine July 2019 2019 Nominations Open: MFG Excellence Awards About the MFG Excellence Awards Manufacturers make exceptional contributions to the state of Michigan, including the economy, their workforce, our communities and the industry. Help us celebrate manufacturing excellence by nominating a deserving individual, exceptional company or noteworthy product for the 2019 MFG Excellence Awards. The Awards will be presented 11/7/19 in East Lansing during a prestigious evening of celebration and recognition to honor the rich history and bright future of Michigan manufacturing. Nominations Open “Manufacturers do so much for Michigan’s local communities and most of it the general public never hears about,” said MMA President & CEO Chuck Hadden. “The MFG Excellence Awards allows manufacturers to share their stories and recognize the hard work of their people and of their peers. Manufacturers work to create great products while people drive by without knowing the amazing stuff happening inside these buildings. Not enough organizations recognize that.” Nomination Process The judges will determine award recipients based on the content and quality of the completed nomination forms. Anyone, except MMA staff, may nominate an individual employed in Michigan’s manufacturing industry. Self-nominations are encouraged. The submission of additional information about the nominee and the company, such as letters of recommendation/commendation, testimonials, press articles and company brochures, is highly encouraged. You may submit multiple nominations for each category. However, numerous nominations for the same person/organization/program will not make them more likely to be selected.
