PTDA Foundation now accepting nominations for 2017 Wendy B. McDonald Award

February 16, 2017 By Paul Heney Leave a Comment

PTDA-Business-Index-2016-conditions-predictions-PT-MCThe PTDA Foundation’s Wendy B. McDonald Award recognizes a woman who has established herself as a critical contributor to her company’s success and has affected positive change within the power transmission/motion control industry. The PTDA Foundation established the award in 2014 to honor the memory of Wendy B. McDonald, one of the power transmission/motion control industry’s true pioneers.

A trailblazing woman business owner, Mrs. McDonald left many legacies through her long career in the industry. Her charm and grace are legendary as well as her philanthropy and commitment to give back to the industry and the communities that led to her success. The 2016 recipient of the award was Linda Miller of B&D Industrial. Previous recipients include Elizabeth (Liz) Moon of Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation and Pat Wheeler of Motion Industries (Canada).

When merited, the Wendy B. McDonald Award will be presented annually. Nominations are now being accepted through June 15, 2017, and will be judged by the following criteria:

Nominees must be female and employed by a PTDA member company within the calendar year for which the nomination is being made. There are no criteria with respect to title, position in company or years of experience.
Nominees must exemplify leadership and integrity in all business relationships.
