Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC)

A day full of gratitude and purpose! Along with hosting our annual Thanksgiving food drive, the DVIRC team spent time reflecting and collaborating to define our guiding principles. Together, we're building a stronger foundation to support those we serve and each other. #Thanksgiving #FoodDrive

Standing at Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC)'s Re-Imagine Manufacturing podium - braids in, gold teeth shining - addressing Officers of Maritime Industrial Base Program, The New York Times Bestsellers, Nuclear Sub Captains, and Defense Contractors, members of BlueForge Alliance, and multiple award nominated manufacturers... I had to smile. Not because I felt out of place. But because I BELONGED. Picture this: A two-time felon, teenage father, trying to figure out fatherhood before I could legally drink. That was me. But somewhere, someone answered the call. They opened a door I didn't know existed. A door to manufacturing. A door to redemption. A door to the American Dream. From the Revolutionary War to the Space Race, every great American endeavor started with one thing: Someone answering the call. Today, we face a new call - rebuilding American manufacturing, creating pathways for the overlooked, transforming lives through opportunity. The question isn't whether the next generation of manufacturing leaders will come from unexpected places. The question is: Will you answer the call to open those doors? #ManufacturingRevolution #SecondChances #AmericanDream #DVIRC S/O to Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC) Philly Builds Giants BlueForge Alliance JARC Training for stepping up and answering the call --- I'm Drew "The MFG" Crowe, advocating for The New American Manufacturing Renaissance.

At ReImagine Manufacturing 2024, I quoted Nipsey Hussle in a room full of manufacturing executives and defense contractors. 'The highest human act is to inspire.' That moment? It represented everything I believe about the future of American manufacturing - that transformation happens when we bring our authentic selves to the table. From my keynote 'Answering the Call': We're not just making products in American manufacturing. We're making: ? Progress through innovation ? Opportunities for overlooked talent ? The American Dream accessible again Because real leadership in manufacturing isn't about fitting a mold - it's about breaking them. It's about bringing wisdom from every corner of America into our industry. Our nation is calling. Our communities are calling. Our future is calling. The time for hesitation is over. Will you answer the call to rebuild the American Dream through manufacturing? Thank you Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC) and fellow speakers Christopher J. Scafario @Arthur Herman, Joelle Anne Schmitz, Gus Faucher, and L. David Marquet for an incredible event. #ManufacturingLeadership #AmericanManufacturing #AuthenticLeadership #ReImagineManufacturing
