During the first three months of its 2022 Fund Drive campaign, the PTDA Foundation raised nearly $120,000 of its 2022 fundraising goal. Contributions to the annual PTDA Foundation Fund Drive support PT WORK Force, an initiative to empower PT/MC (power transmission/motion control) industry employers to be more successful in their recruitment and retention efforts.
“The PT/MC industry is vital and full of great opportunity for career growth and advancement,” said PTDA Foundation VP and 2022 Fund Drive Chair, Hafeez Hameer, business development manager, KLOZURE Seals for Garlock Sealing Technologies, Inc. “Every contribution to the PTDA Fund Drive directly impacts and assists PT/MC employers in building the talent pipeline. Hiring challenges abound in every industry, yet the work of PT WORK Force–thanks to the support of generous donors–ensures that both employers and talent reap the reward of their involvement in this thriving and exciting workforce.”
