“Quick—think of an industry that holds up a huge piece of the state’s economy, innovates constantly and offers rewarding jobs.” (“On a Mission to Save Manufacturing,” Worcester Business Journal, January 18, 2010.)

Jack Healy, of the Massachusetts Manufacturing Extension Partnership and Manufacturing Advancement Center, has been named the Nonprofit Business Leader of the Year by the Worcester Business Journal.

In addition to naming him the Nonprofit Business Leader of the Year, the January 18, 2010 edition of the Worcester Business Journal also features Jack Healy in an article, On a Mission to Save Manufacturing, that discusses some of the work Jack has done over many years to change people’s perceptions and breathe life back into an industry that many believe is failing.
