This February, the IMA recognizes the outstanding leadership of Black professionals serving on the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association (IMA) Board. These individuals are making a real difference in moving manufacturing forward:
- Melissa Washington (ComEd)
- Michael L. Nelson, Jr. (Ferrara)
- Jessica Ashley Garmon (The Will Group Inc.)
- Ray Reddrick (Diageo)
- Kristin Givens (State Farm)
- Linda Boasmond (Cedar Concepts Corporation), who also proudly served as our former Chairwoman.
Their commitment to the IMA and the broader manufacturing community is invaluable. Their diverse perspectives and expertise strengthen our collective efforts as we continue our mission of Boldly Moving Makers Forward. We are inspired by their leadership and are committed to fostering a more inclusive and equitable manufacturing future for all.
