| WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA The Manufacturer’s Roundtable: Making History through Dedication and Determination Medieval knights were not the only ones with a round table. In the 1980s, major manufacturers in Dickinson formed an informal organization, the Manufacturer’s Roundtable. “Our first meeting was at the Elks club,” Guy Moos, president of Baker Boy, recalls. Some of the major founder manufacturers that solidified this alliance include TMI Systems Design Corporation, Steffes Corporation, Baker Boy and Fisher Industries. For well over two decades, these committed community leaders have been demonstrating citizenship and contributing to a better quality of place. Major local manufacturers meet bimonthly to discuss opportunities, resolve issues and to improve the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry in Southwestern N.D. Among the diversity of topics, the group discusses workforce training and development issues, employee retention, sales successes and technological breakthroughs. “Manufacturers in Dickinson are a very sharing group. We share our successes, trials, By Deanna Voutsas “ Manufacturers in Dickinson are a very sharing group. We share our successes, trials, and tribulations. We constantly encourage each other. ” and tribulations. We constantly encourage each other,” says Moos. Networking is another key element that becomes attainable through these gatherings. As Joe Rothschiller, president and chief operating officer of Steffes Corporation says, “The Manufacturer’s Roundtable is a “networking” vehicle that enables business leaders to informally share experiences of best practices; openly discusses local, state and national issues; support one another professionally; and helps each organization grow. He says, “The whole of the group is smarter than the individual person. As a group, our intent is to grow Southwestern N.D.” The group is also concerned with how to create opportunities for the Dickinson community that will positively affect our quality of life. According to Gaylon Baker, Stark Development Corporation executive vicepresident and Roundtable facilitator, “We are working together to help the community prosper.” The members of the Manufacturer’s Roundtable have been instrumental in supporting local projects that have helped shape Dickinson into what it is today. Such projects include the West River Community Center, the Workforce Training project and the Badlands Activities Center, to name just a few. Although it may be true that the present members of the Roundtable are not famous historical knights from the past, the dynamic group is most certainly making history in Southwestern N.D. Their dedication, determination and drive for success will keep these team players fueled for many, many years to come. 40 thecitymag.com
