CHICAGO—The Power Transmission Distributors Association is secure in its leadership heading into 2023, as Mike McLain and Tammy Balogh assume key roles for the industry organization.
In addition, the recently elected 2023 Board of Directors and Manufacturer Council of the PTDA have begun their leadership terms.
McLain, vice president of the Allied Bearing and Supply Co. in Harahan, La., takes over as PTDA president. Balogh, chief people officer at Flexco in Downers Grove, Ill., takes over as the Manufacturer Council chair.
McLain, a member of the PTDA Board of Directors since 2017, has been with the PTDA since 2014, assisting on task forces and the Professional Development Committee.
"PTDA is poised to launch several new and pivotal programs in 2023, all expected to progress the efforts of our essential PT/MC industry," McLain said. "I look forward to the collective expertise our board and leadership will bring to guide our efforts, ensuring our members are well-equipped with the information, knowledge sharing and networking they seek to advance their respective businesses and our industry."
Balogh, active on PTDA committees since 2009 when she joined the Employee Development Committee, has served on various task forces and committees as well. She became part of the Manufacturer Council in 2017.
"I've gained tremendous insight into our members' and industry's needs through my work with PTDA over several years," says Balogh. "Together, we are stronger and collectively our PTDA manufacturers and leadership is well-prepared to bring forth solutions in 2023 that ensure our industry continues to successfully anticipate, and address, challenges and opportunities."
