Goodwill Industries of Mississippi recently had the privilege of attending the 70th Annual Mississippi Manufacturers Association (MMA) Conference, held in Point Clear, Alabama from June 14th to 16th, 2023. This event provided an exceptional platform for us to network with industry leaders, exchange ideas, and showcase the impactful work we do.
As an organization committed to empowering individuals and strengthening communities, participating in the MMA Annual Conference was a valuable opportunity for Goodwill of Mississippi. The conference brought together a diverse range of professionals, decision-makers, and influencers from the manufacturing sector—an industry that plays a vital role in driving economic growth and job creation.
Networking at this event allowed us to connect with key stakeholders, including manufacturing companies, suppliers, educators, and policymakers. These connections are essential for advancing our mission of helping individuals overcome barriers to employment and achieve self-sufficiency through learning and work opportunities.
At Goodwill Industries of Mississippi, we firmly believe in the power of collaboration and partnership. Engaging with the manufacturing industry opens doors to new possibilities, such as job training programs, employment placements, and strategic alliances. By fostering these relationships, we can create a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of the individuals we serve.
