David Sansone, NIMS board and executive committee member and executive director of the Precision Metalforming Association Educational Foundation (PMAEF), presented school representatives with a plaque denoting this recognition for the school’s CNC machining program. In addition to PMAEF, which provided a small grant, many local companies invested funds, time and equipment to support the school’s efforts.
