Last week, SME joined the United States Department of Defense’s Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel in celebrating the 2024 Defense Manufacturing Technology Achievement Awards (DMTAA). Together with Keith DeVries and David Koch, I was honored to recognize five award-winning teams that delivered remarkable technical accomplishments in projects that advance the vision of the Department of Defense Manufacturing Technology Program—solutions that play a vital role in strengthening our national security. Recognizing excellence in manufacturing capabilities and the individuals behind them not only celebrates remarkable achievements but inspires ongoing innovation, collaboration, and commitment—key drivers of competitiveness and resiliency. Congratulations to this year’s DMTAA winners! A big thank you to the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) for hosting another successful forum and my fellow Education & Workforce Development panelists, Charlene Stokes, Andrew Bond, Lisa Masciantonio, and Josh Cramer for an engaging discussion on the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of defense manufacturing. It’s great to see the defense community come together to tackle critical issues for the country, including workforce development.
