| Kell-Strom President
Frank Kelly recently completed a two year term as President of the Connecticut Tooling and
Manufacturing Association (CTMA) - the local chapter of the National Tooling and Machining
and Manufacturing Association (NTMA). John Lavieri,
President of Sterling Engineering in Winsted will take over the role. Kelly will, however, remain active as a Trustee representing the chapter at NTMA national meetings. During Kelly's tenure, CTMA members faced a number of difficult issues, ranging from banking and employee relations, to in-house training and management. On the bright side, CTMA precision manufacturers have been recognized by Connecticut Governor John Rowland as major contributors to the state's economy. Kelly also plans to maintain an active role in a program designed to alleviate a shortage of skilled labor in Connecticut. The program will be similar to a successful program run by the NTMA's Western Massachusetts chapter. "I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most dedicated manufacturers in Connecticut and around the nation. I can only hope that I have helped some of my fellow shop owners during my tenure," Kelly said. |
