“We want to encourage students to pursue a career in manufacturing,” said Jason Moss, CEO of GMA. “While the summit is not a job fair, it’s a great opportunity for students to see the multitude of career options that manufacturing offers. Georgia is the number one place to do business for the sixth consecutive year and the people in manufacturing are a large part of that.”
