Champion of Manufacturing Award

Upsate Manufacturing Network honors its partners regularly with the Champion of Manufacturing award, a distinction bestowed upon members of our community who take up the mantle of UMN’s cause with enthusiasm. In Spring of 2023, UMN was delighted to present the award to Dr. Tim Hardee of the South Carolina Technical College System for his ongoing contributions to our work in improving the day-one readiness of entry-level manufacturing workers across our region.

We’re honored to continue offering the award and look forward to presenting 2024’s recipient in the new year! Stay tuned for more information.
