Last evening I was elected to the Board of Directors of LA/NTMA. LA/NTMA stands for “Los Angeles (chapter of) National Tooling and Machining Association”. The NTMA was founded in Cleveland, Ohio in 1943. It is the national representative of the custom precision manufacturing industry in the United States. Like Q-Mark, most of NTMA’s nearly 2000 members are small businesses, privately owned and operated.
As a member of the LA BOD, I’ll help oversee the activities and expenditures of the LA chapter. The NTMA operates two machininst training centers in Southern California. About 6 months ago we hired a recent machinist graduate of one of NTMA’s training centers. He’s a productive member of our staff and a welcome addition to Q-Mark.
I’m honored and delighted to serve at NTMA.

Congrats!!
