Existing Business Program Sponsors Successful Training 
Northwest Kentucky Forward joined with E.ON US to sponsor a Safety and Health Training for local industry. The 6-hour program focused on Accident Investigation, Back Safety, Bloodborne Pathogens, Lockout/Tagout, Ergonomics, Office Safety and an update on the Personal Protective Equipment standards.
“Our HR Manager reported that ‘this was one of the best OSHA seminars that he had ever attended. A lot of valuable information was taught that Trelleborg could benefit from.’
I appreciate Northwest Kentucky Forward sponsoring a much needed service to our business.”
Jeff Jones, General Manager
Trelleborg Automotive Americas
NWKF Plans for New Year
The Northwest Kentucky Forward board recently approved the Marketing Plan and Existing Business Program of Work for the fiscal year which begins in July. Thanks to the Marketing and Existing Business Committees which work to help draft these important documents. The Existing Business Program of Work is available on our website.
Northwest Kentucky Aluminum Network
NWKF has joined with several of our aluminum-related businesses to form the Northwest Kentucky Aluminum Network. The purpose of NKAN is to support existing aluminum businesses, assist them in growing their operations, and recruit businesses which will further enhance the aluminum network members. In support of this new initiative, NWKF has dedicated a significant portion of the new marketing funds to support the efforts of the network.
Recently, Rio Tinto Alcan’s Sebree smelter featured NKAN in its employee newsletter. A copy of that story can be found here.
Jack Schultz to Speak at Annual Dinner
Northwest Kentucky Forward will hold its Annual Dinner on 9 September at Wolf’s Banquet Center in Henderson. Author and leading site location consultant Jack Schultz will be this year’s featured speaker.
Schultz is a leading authority in economic development recognized for his ongoing research and vast knowledge of rural America. In his book, Boomtown USA: The 7 ½ Keys to Big Success in Small Towns, Jack exposes the well-hidden truth of America’s hometowns that he fondly calls the agurbs®.
Additionally, Schultz serves as CEO of Agracel, a leading site selection and project development company. Currently, Agracel boats more than 6 million sq. ft. of industrial space in 12 states.
Jack spoke at the KAED meeting here in the spring and he is anxious to return to Northwest Kentucky. He is a dynamic speaker and one you will not want to miss. Watch for ticket information starting in August.
A limited number of sponsorships are available. Contact the NWKF office for more information.
