Mechanism Networking Happy Hour | Oklahoma City

About the Event

Mechanism (formerly UMA) and Harrison Consulting Group are hosting a Networking Happy Hour to convene local and national leaders working to build better career opportunities and pathways in manufacturing.

Enjoy drinks, food, and great conversation with fellow manufacturing and workforce leaders, partners, and friends. We’ll be celebrating the launch of Urban Manufacturing Alliance’s new identity and expanded mission as Mechanism, and we’ll also be sharing information about Mechanism’s pilot project, Engaging Workers and Businesses for Mutual Gain, which includes participants from Oklahoma City and Houston.

About UMA's transition to Mechanism

For the past decade, UMA has been dedicated to strengthening manufacturing as a strategy for just and equitable communities. For us, manufacturing has always been about the networks of people, companies, services, resources, and infrastructure that anchor the business of making things.

Over the next decade, we will move from serving the manufacturing sector as an intermediary to working with communities as a guide and convener, building production ecosystems rooted in relationships, governance, and flows of value that define how production happens, who participates, and who benefits.

Join us to celebrate all we’ve accomplished and learn and shape where we’re heading next.
