Debra Oakes, Marketing Operations Manager
“I really enjoy telling the stories of manufacturers. They are stories that don’t get much press coverage, but are incredibly dramatic, interesting and they really matter. Manufacturers are literally building something from nothing – in many cases, they’ve started with a dream, and with a lot of hard work, have built a thriving enterprise that provides a good way of life for many people in their community.”
