On April 18, Fleurette Fitch — a 21-year employee of Shaw Industries — was honored at a Washington DC gala for her outstanding manufacturing career. That evening, the Manufacturing Institute recognized Fitch as a Women MAKE Award honoree for her outstanding contributions within manufacturing.
Fitch is the Senior Quality Director of Soft Services at Shaw Industries in Dalton, Georgia. In her career, she’s worked in nearly every aspect of Shaw manufacturing, from the factory floor to plant manager.
She first heard of the award in a text from a colleague: congratulations, it said.
Indeed.
