Terry Iverson, President, and CEO of Iverson
& Co. in Des Plaines, IL which provides sales and service for the
machining industry in the greater Chicago region served on FLATE’s National
Visiting Committee (NVC) for a number of years and worked with many community
college manufacturing programs in and around Chicago. A number of years, concerned about the lack of
young people choosing manufacturing as a career path, Terry Iverson started a nonprofit
to address the negative perception of manufacturing. Information about that movement can be found
on its website: ChampionNow! To share his passion with more people,
Terry wrote and published a new book late in 2018: “Finding America’s Greatest
Champions”. Today, he is not only
running Iverson & Co. but promoting his book and the whole Champion Now
movement. Check out the book! You will
find several Floridians featured in the book of best practices, including Dr.
Barger, Executive Director, FLATE.
In the photograph below, you can see Terry at a book signing
at the San Marco Bookstore near Jacksonville on Saturday, March 4. Working continuously
to raise community awareness about manufacturing. You can learn more about
