Georgia Manufacturing Alliance Referral Network and Loud Security Increases Revenue via Technology on Business Development Network
Leadership as Business Development
Jason Moss, CEO
Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA)
Jason met a defining moment for the survival of his company by challenging his clients to grow his business. While a regional sales representative for a 3D CAD software company, Jason discovered that most manufacturers served a very small segment of the overall manufacturing space. Jason realized if the industry leaders would create strategic alliances the entire manufacturing community could benefit.
In 2008 founded the Networking MFG, an association with the mission of connecting, educating, and promoting manufacturing companies throughout Georgia. In 2011 the organization became the Georgia Manufacturing Alliance (GMA), and has grown to six chapters throughout the state, with over 250 members.
The GMA staff and Chapter Directors coordinate plant tours educational workshops, and networking events for members to share and learn best business practices from their peers. This year plant tours include world class manufacturers including Fortune 500 printing company RR Donnelly, Clorox, KIA, Olympic Steel, Savannah Bee, Southwire, and Yamaha.
Ending Recap & Remarks
GMA will also hold its 4th annual conference and exhibition summit highlighting the people, plants and products that help create a more vibrant manufacturing environment in Georgia on October 25th at the Cobb Galleria. This year’s theme will highlight Georgia’s aerospace industry.
