Nominations Are Open for the 2023 Manufacturer and Manufacturing Employee of the Year Awards

KAM is now accepting nominations for the 2023 Manufacturer of the Year and 2023 Manufacturing Employee of the Year Awards.

Nominations are open through July 31. You can nominate a deserving small, medium, or large manufacturing company and a manufacturing employee in a brief process with basic information.

These awards focus attention on the important contributions manufacturers and industry make to their employees, customers, and communities and the impacts of exceptional manufacturing employees on their companies and communities. They showcase the entrepreneurial spirit, community and enterprise leadership, and good citizenship of Kentucky’s top manufacturers and team members, all of which enhance the prosperity of communities across the Commonwealth. 

The 2023 Awards Dinner will be held November 2 during KAM’s 2023 Manufacturers Summit at Western Kentucky University’s Knicely Conference Center in Bowling Green. For more information about our 2023 Summit, click here.
