🏭 MADE IN WHITE HOUSE | Celebrating Manufacturing MonthYou may drive past them every day, but do you really know what’s made in White House?
This October, the White House Area Chamber of Commerce invites you to take a closer look at the manufacturers, skilled workforce and partnerships helping power our local economy during Made in White House, our celebration of Manufacturing Month.
⚙️ MANUFACTURING MONTH LUNCHEON
We’ll kick off the celebration with a special luncheon and panel discussion featuring leaders representing three important pieces of a strong manufacturing economy: industry, workforce development and economic development.
Our panel includes:
⭐ Kalee Harryman, Robertson County Economic Development Director
⭐ Kevin Harrison, TCAT Nashville

We’ll talk about the impact of manufacturing, the jobs and skills of tomorrow, workforce training, industry growth and why strong partnerships are so important to the future of our region.
