Enrollment Open for 2015 Management Development Academy



CLEVELAND, OH—The Precision Metalforming Association (PMA) invites middle-management professionals to enroll in its 2015 Management Development Academy (MDA).



The MDA is a three-part series of forum-style workshops, coursework, seminars and structured networking designed exclusively for mid-level managers looking to advance their business and leadership acumen. Participants will learn practical skills and strategies about how to succeed when analyzing metalforming markets; conducting marketing research; managing assets and budgets; communicating in the workplace; and developing and managing the supply chain, financial and customer accounts, contracts and human resources.



The 2015 MDA series will be held on December 7-9, 2014, in Cleveland, OH; February 15-17, 2015, in Tampa, FL; and May 3-5, 2015, in Kansas City, MO. During each of these 2.5-day sessions, knowledge experts share their experiences and insights on topics that address managerial excellence and performance improvement. Attendees also learn through case studies, facilitated brainstorming, roundtable discussions, instructional and interactive exercises, applied projects, peer-to-peer networking, and multifaceted group interaction and learning.



More than 100 mid-level managers have graduated from the MDA since its inception in 2011. Class size is limited so that participants can develop an intimate network of peers that they can rely on as they grow their careers and lead their businesses.
