NAM Announces FMA as One of the Best Associations to Work For

For the second year in row, the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, International®, (FMA) has been named “Best Manufacturing Associations to Work For” by the National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) Council of Manufacturing Associations (CMA).

“FMA is honored to be recognized, for two consecutive years, as one of the best manufacturing trade associations to work for. We take great pride in the work we’re doing to contribute to the growth and sustainability of the metal fabrication industry,” said FMA President and CEO Ed Youdell. “This award represents the culture our employees have created of living up to our organization’s core values of honesty, integrity, respect, trust, accountability, team work, innovation, creativity, and open communication.”

FMA will receive an award at the CMA’s 2019 Summer Leadership Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, August 7-9, 2019, along with nine other trade associations:

National Association of Chemical Distributors

PMMI: The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies

Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers

The CMA has partnered with Best Companies Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to recognize manufacturing associations that go above and beyond for their employees.

“It is exciting to see these associations named to this list — some for the second year in a row,” said CMA Executive Director Tonya Muse. “I am happy the CMA can play a role in recognizing the amazing and creative things manufacturing associations are doing to recruit and retain top talent.”
