MESSAGE FROMGREG HIGDONPRESIDENT & CEO, KENTUCKY ASSOCIATION OF MANUFACTURERS

ards, and promote manufacturing here in the Commonwealth.

Struggling global and U.S. economies have continued to have a major im-pact on business in general, and manufacturing in particular. Although we hope we have seen the worst of this recessionary period, many families, communities and companies are still feeling the effects of the economic downturn. Nevertheless, many sectors of the nation’s economy are begin-ning to show improvement, and manufacturing is leading the way back to prosperity in that movement.

This year, KAM actively promoted and celebrated Manufacturing Day in Kentucky and across the nation. We are aggressively working to propel initi-atives to create an environment supportive of manufacturing and to provide a wealth of opportunities for our members, from advocacy to cost-saving affinity programs and opportunities to collaborate on issues of vital impor-tance. This is a pivotal time in our history as the convergence of needs fall upon our shoulders--need for education; need for talented workers; need for jobs, including our focus on the manufacturing sector; and need for remedial and advanced training to meet the needs of industry. In Kentucky, manufactur-ing = careers. That is our message and we invite you to join us in bringing that message to fruition.

KAM’s sole mission is to raise the prosperity of all Kentuckians by creating and protecting a manufacturing-friendly environment throughout the Com-monwealth. As the only association totally focused on manufacturing, we take that responsibility seriously, with a great deal of pride and commitment. As the Association begins its second century of service to manufacturers in the Commonwealth, we thank you for your continued commitment to KAM and Kentucky’s number one economic engine, manufacturing!


Welcome to the 2012 Manufac-turer and Employee of the Year Awards.

Please join me in congratulat-ing all the winners today. This awards luncheon pays tribute to those from our manufacturing community who provide leader-ship, demonstrate high stand-

THE HONORABLEJERRY ABRAMSONLIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY

acknowledged Abramson’s impact when it named Louisville – “America’s Most Livable Large City.”

As lieutenant governor, Abramson brings the knowledge, en-thusiastic ideas and local government experience he demon-strated in Louisville to serve the entire Commonwealth of Ken-tucky. Whether it’s working with the private sector to create more jobs or ensuring educational opportunities are available for every Kentucky citizen, Abramson supports Governor Steve Beshear’s mission to make Kentucky one of the best places to live, work and raise a family. He currently chairs the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Tax Reform.

A lifelong Kentuckian, Abramson received a Bachelor of Science in business economics from Indiana University and a law degree from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He served in the U.S. Army from 1969-1971. Abramson served in state govern-ment as general counsel to Kentucky Governor John Y. Brown, Jr. from 1979-1981.

He and his wife, Madeline, live in Louisville and have one son, Sidney.


Jerry Abramson was elected Kentucky’s Lieutenant Gover-nor in November 2011. Before running for statewide office, Abramson was the longest-serving mayor in the city of Louisville’s history, having won election to five terms, two of them during a merged city and county government.

Throughout his 21 years as mayor, Abramson oversaw a dramatic transformation of Lou-isville and was known for creat-ing public/private partnerships to further policy goals. In 2008, the U.S. Conference of Mayors

lawsuits, and helped facilitate a breakthrough on the Ohio River Bridges Project - potentially reducing the cost by half a billion dollars. He also pushed forward a deal to preserve and renovate the historic Whiskey Row block of W. Main St., announced a new corporate headquarters relocating to Louisville, and delivered a balanced city budget - all within the first few months.

Greg is an entrepreneur, businessman and philanthropist who started several businesses including SerVend Interna-tional and Iceberg Ventures, a private investment firm. He also co-founded bCatalyst, the first business accelerator in Louisville.

Greg graduated from Trinity High School and majored in Economics at Vanderbilt University. He and his wife Alex have four children -- Eleni, George, Nick and Mary.


Committed to creating new jobs, Greg Fischer was sworn in as Louisville’s 50th mayor on January 3, 2011.

Since taking office, Mayor Fis-cher has directed a review of city government, beginning with Public Works, Animal Ser-vices and Planning and De-sign and formed the Merger 2.0 Task Force to insure that government consolidation is working for all citizens.

He settled two long-running
