In the Americas, where Michelman is gearing up for the upcoming United Way of Greater Cincinnati (UWGC) campaign, associates exceeded their 2020 campaign pledge goal and repeated as one of the top 25 largest corporate, retiree, and employee campaign contributors. Additionally, it was one of five businesses in the region recognized with a Corporate Hero award for their commitment to voluntarism during the COVID-19 pandemic. “These honors land squarely on the shoulders of our associates,” said Steve Shifman, Michelman’s President & CEO and UWGC’s current Board Chair. “I am grateful for and proud of our associates who donated thousands of dollars and safely volunteered thousands of hours during this extended pandemic. Their efforts truly exemplify our company’s core value of giving.”
