All nominations must be submitted by February 10th.
MANUFACTURERS WALL OF FAME
Since 2001 MACNY has been honoring executive-level leaders in manufacturing who have displayed exceptional vision and leadership while navigating today’s complicated economic conditions. These leaders tend to share four key characteristics: They are humble, curious, caring, and dedicated. They consistently attribute their team’s success to others, eagerly ask insightful questions, and enthusiastically anticipate the answers. Their genuine care for others shines through in everything they do, as they always go above and beyond to make a difference.
Each year, honorees are chosen by former Manufacturers Wall of Fame Inductees on criteria including, but not limited to revenue growth, capital investment, leadership, employee training programs, production quality, energy conservation, philanthropy, and any other factors contributing to growth and sustainability within a company or industry.
There are so many great leaders at the center of our member companies that continue to inspire the manufacturing sector. Previous inductees can be found at www.macny.org/about/wall-of-fame/.

INNOVATOR OF THE YEAR
One of the many reasons the manufacturing sector remains so strong is the ability to adapt and innovate. This, in part, is because of individuals within companies whose forward-thinking ideas help their companies advance product offerings and/or production through innovation. Examples of leaders within a company may include Operations Managers, Project Managers, Engineers, Designers, or any individuals who have showcased their ability to innovate.
The award recipient will be chosen by a panel of manufacturing executives based on criteria such as: revenue growth, product development, process development, production quality, productivity, energy conservation, and any other factors contributing to growth within a company or industry.
