CHICAGO — The PTDA Foundation is off to a strong fundraising start in 2024, raising nearly $147,000 during the first three months of its 2024 Fund Drive campaign.
Contributions support the PTDA Foundation in empowering power transmission/motion control industry employers to be more successful in their recruitment and retention efforts.
"Our industry plays a crucial role in driving the global economy, and the individuals we bring on board our companies are fundamental to its growth and prosperity," said 2024 PTDA Foundation President Matt Pavlinsky of Applied Industrial Technologies.
“Our employers need help in securing and retaining the best talent and cultivating exceptional teams. This year, as the foundation prepares to launch new scholarship programs and a bold campaign to raise awareness of careers within our industry, we are grateful to those who demonstrated a commitment to our vision with a pledge to the 2024 Fund Drive. We look forward to sharing more information on these two exciting programs soon.”
