As we embrace the spirit of community and collaboration, October is a month of double celebration for us – Mav Month and Manufacturing Month.

First and foremost, we are thrilled to announce our unwavering support for Colorado Mesa University (CMU) throughout the month of October as we celebrate Mav Month. CMU plays an integral role in our community, shaping the future of countless students and contributing significantly to the cultural and economic fabric of the Grand Junction area. Their commitment to education, innovation, and community engagement is truly commendable, and we are honored to stand by their side in this special month. As a proud CMU Maverick, join me in showing Mav pride by participating in the various events and initiatives organized by CMU.

In addition to celebrating Mav Month, October also marks the observance of Manufacturing Month – a time when we shine a spotlight on the outstanding contributions of our area’s manufacturers, both large and small. The manufacturing sector is a cornerstone of our local economy, providing countless jobs and driving innovation. These businesses not only produce high-quality products but also contribute to the growth and prosperity of our region.

This month, we invite you to join us in recognizing the achievements of our area manufacturers. These diverse manufacturers include (but aren’t limited to) WestStar Aviation, Lada Cube, Valor, Jabil Lewis, Western Filament, Innovative Textiles, GPD, Western Slope Industries, Munro Companies, Reynolds Polymer, Leitner Poma, DT Swiss, Super Birds, MRP, and CoorsTek. Explore the remarkable innovations, the dedication of the workforce, and the positive impact they have on our community. We encourage you to visit local manufacturing facilities, engage in discussions about industry trends, and support the businesses that drive our economy forward.

As we celebrate both Mav Month and Manufacturing Month, let us remember the strength of our community lies in our unity and shared commitment to growth and progress. Together, we can create a vibrant and prosperous future for the Grand Junction area.

Thank you for being a valued member of the Grand Junction Area Chamber of Commerce. Your dedication and support make all of these initiatives possible.

Wishing you all a month filled with Maverick pride and manufacturing excellence.
