Hello to TSMA members, associates, and friends!

I hope your summer is off to a great start and that your businesses are staying busy as we move through another productive year in manufacturing.

One of the highlights of the season is right around the corner—our TSMA Golf Social on July 15. This annual event is always a great opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, connect with fellow manufacturers, strengthen relationships, and enjoy some friendly competition on the course. Whether you're a longtime member or new to TSMA, I encourage you to join us for a day of networking and camaraderie. Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, and everyone helping make this event possible.

Big congratulations to Luke Christenson from Alexandria High School, and Lucas Curry from Minnewaska High School, and Tyler Stier from Osakis High School. Alexandria High School! We are thrilled to honor them as our Manufacturing Scholarship Winners! Their dedication and hard work truly embodies the spirit of the next generation of manufacturing leaders!

As we continue through the year, we're also preparing for our next TSMA meeting in August. We are finalizing details and look forward to sharing more information soon. Be sure to watch your email and TSMA communications for updates regarding the meeting location, agenda, and registration information.

We are seeking industry professionals, educators, and community partners who are passionate about workforce development and interested in serving on our Educational Committee to help strengthen connections between education and manufacturing. If you are interested, please reach out to the MMA team at info@midwestmanufacturers.com

TSMA remains committed to providing valuable opportunities for networking, education, workforce development, and advocacy throughout our region. Your participation and engagement are what make this association strong, and we appreciate your continued support.

Thank you for being part of TSMA. I look forward to seeing many of you at the Golf Social and again at our August meeting.

Have a safe and enjoyable summer!

Warm regards,

Nicole McDonald
