Since 2016, RMI has promoted stories about “Champions” of Maryland manufacturing, and we are once again doing so in 2022. Champions are individuals, companies, organizations, academic institutions and government entities whose noteworthy efforts serve as examples and inspiration to others. By sharing stories from these Maryland manufacturing stakeholders, we highlight the economic and social impact manufacturing has on people, families, businesses and communities. In other words, we foster a positive image of manufacturing!

In 2020, over 140 Champions were featured on RMI’s website in the Champions of Maryland Directory. Local press reported on Champions. Stories lit up social media. Countless RMI sponsors, economic development leaders and partner organizations wrote about Champions. And thousands viewed the Champions Directory.

I encourage you to visit the RMI website to read about the Champions program and current Champion stories at www.rmiofmaryland.com. And you can submit your story (350 words or less) via this simple online form. Of course, I am also happy to help you identify your own efforts that would represent a great Champion story to be shared.
