Celebration of Veterans Event
The Manufacturing Institute, the education and workforce partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, is pleased to invite you to the Annual Heroes MAKE America Celebration of Veterans luncheon on Tuesday, November 12.
Heroes MAKE America is dedicated to building a pipeline between the military and manufacturing. We are committed to helping today’s American heroes become tomorrow’s manufacturing leaders.
The Celebration of Veterans will recognize the service of our nation’s military families and the accomplishments of our Heroes MAKE America participants. We hope you can be with us to commemorate the expansion of Heroes MAKE America to Ft. Bragg and recognize the stalwart contributions of veterans and manufacturers to this great nation. There is no cost to attend, and lunch will be provided.
