DCMA: Colaboration for Improvement
Founded in 2006, the Dallas County Manufacturers’
Association (DCMA) continues to provide a platform
for innovative collaboration among its members.
Our foundational mission — providing members
with an opportunity for sustainable success in the
global marketplace — is driven by our three core
objectives — World-class Workforce, Best Practices,
and Advocacy.
DCMA Leadership Academy programs, created
in partnership with Dallas College, help develop
the leaders of tomorrow’s workforce by imparting
management and people skills to committed current
employees. Our ongoing topical forums and industryleader presentations keep DCMA members up-todate with latest trends in manufacturing and human
resources.
World-Class Workforce
Technology continues to evolve at a logarithmic rate,
and maintaining a workforce capable of wielding
that technology is our 昀椀rst foundational principle.
The DCMA works hand-in-hand with Dallas College,
Garland Independent School District, and Workforce
Solutions to empower the workforce of the future.
Best Practices
Current endeavors include:

learned from. We continually seek to inform members

bottom lines.
