Liz has been with the HMA since 2018 and likes to be active in the community engaging with youth and promoting awareness of the skilled trades through experiential learning opportunities.  If you are interested in joining the HMA Board of Directors, Liz would encourage you “Joining the HMA Board of Directors provides an opportunity to promote, support and celebrate our local manufacturing sector in a number of different ways. It allows you to connect with students/youth and educate them about career opportunities available to them right here in Huron County. It also provides opportunities to grow and expand your own business network”.

Liz volunteers her time and awareness of the manufacturing industry and education opportunities to the HMA Board. She is a positive member of the HMA and the HMA Board of Directors and its initiatives.
