Manufacturing is a cornerstone of North Dakota’s economy, with a workforce of over 27,000 individuals shaping the future through innovation, technology, and hard work. On September 27, 2024, the Greater North Dakota Chamber (GNDC), in partnership with Impact Dakota, will host a special luncheon to celebrate these contributions, coinciding with Manufacturing Day.

This event will serve as a unique opportunity to recognize the outstanding individuals, including our Faces of MFG honorees, who represent the heart of the manufacturing sector in North Dakota. More than just a celebration, this luncheon is a gathering of industry leaders, honorees, and those dedicated to advancing the manufacturing sector within our state. With premier sponsorship support from the North Dakota Department of Commerce, we will also highlight the importance of this industry to our communities and economy.

The luncheon will feature insights from national experts and statewide officials who are championing the innovations shaping North Dakota's manufacturing landscape. 

• Patrick Bertagnolli, Executive Director of Job Service North Dakota
• Rich Garman, Economic Development & Fianance Director, ND Dept of Commerce 
• Representatives from National Institute of Standards and Technology - Manufacturing Extension Partnership
• Jodie Mjoen, President and CEO of Impact Dakota
• Arik Spencer, President and CEO of GNDC

We encourage you to register in advance to secure your place and confirm your lunch. Please note that no tickets will be available at the door, and a virtual option will not be offered for this in-person celebration.
