AWMI Cleveland Chapter
presents
Member of the Year & Company of the Year
at the June 2015 Annual Industry Dinner
Congratulations 2014 Member of the Year, Dave Woolard of ArcelorMittal!
Every year the AWMI Chapter Board has to make a difficult decision when awarding
the honor of Company of the Year. There are so many of our member companies
that stand out when focusing on those who participate in the growth & professional-
ism of the women in our industry. Looking back into 2014, this time was no exception.
Accepting the award on behalf of TimkenSteel, their employees & guests was the
vice president of communications and community relations for TimkenSteel, Elaine
M. Russell Reolfi. Thank you Elaine for joining us & participating in our special event!
People Drive Progress…
Our keynote speaker for our Annual Industry Dinner was CEO,
chairman, & president Mr. Ward “Tim” Timken of Timken Steel.
We are appreciative of Tim’s time & insight into what it takes to
challenge & inspire growth for a company’s successful future.
TimkenSteel believes that diversity & forward thinking are the keys
to success in our industry; that through Innovation we drive com-
petitiveness. Although easier said than done, TimkenSteel be-
lieves in continuous improvement, making financial investments
in equipment as well as attracting then retaining talented em-
ployees. Of course, there have been changes at TimkenSteel
during the past 2-years, but it is through these challenges that
the TimkenSteel team has proved to be the strongest. Mr. Timken
took the time to recognize individually his team members who
were in attendance that evening; the AWMI appreciates all of
your support!! Thank you!
Congratulations 2014 Company of the Year, TimkenSteel!
Mr. Dave Woolard was named Member of the Year for 2014. Dave
has undoubtedly emerged as one of our chapter’s most loyal mem-
bers. He has shown his support for our chapter for several years by
not only attending our events; but by continuing to bring new guests,
and encouraging their future attendance & membership as well. The
AWMI Cleveland Chapter is blessed to have such a generous & kind
supporter in our corner!
Thank you Mr. Woolard!
