How can manufacturers get more involved in the community?
A great way for manufacturers to strengthen connections within the community is by forming partnerships with local entities such as municipalities, park districts, and business organizations. Partnering with local high schools, the CLC Tech Campus, and local charities can also strengthen community ties and enhance your community engagement.
