Membership
The Lincoln Manufacturing Council is led by local manufacturers and supported by partners and sponsors who are committed to strengthening Lincoln’s manufacturing workforce.
Manufacturing Members are the industry voice of LMC and help shape the training, career awareness, and workforce strategies for the Lincoln area. Members play a direct role in identifying workforce needs and guiding the Council’s priorities.
LMC also works closely with education, workforce, and other community partners who help deliver programs and expand awareness of manufacturing careers.
Non-manufacturing businesses and organizations may support LMC as sponsors. Sponsors help sustain LMC’s work as a workforce development initiative and demonstrate their support for Lincoln’s manufacturing sector and broader economic growth.
