120th Annual Event at York College - The Manufacturers' Association

120th Annual Event

annual event horizontal

For 120 years, the Manufacturers Association has championed the people and industries that shape our region, and this year, we’re celebrating that legacy with an event rooted in mission, teamwork, and a never quit mentality.

We’re honored to welcome Marcus Luttrell, retired U.S. Navy SEAL, best-selling author of Lone Survivor, and a nationally recognized voice on leadership, service, and perseverance. Luttrell’s experience in combat and his life-tested perspective on commitment, brotherhood, and resilience offer a compelling message for anyone who believes results are built through trust, discipline, and teamwork.

Connect, network, and be inspired as we honor the spirit that drives our manufacturing community forward, and look ahead to the next century of strengthening our workforce, our partnerships, and our shared commitment to never quitting.
