Make It In Union County
You’ve got big plans and dreams - Fulfill them with a manufacturing job in Union County
Our community lost a great man earlier this year when Eric Dixon passed away. Eric was employed at ATI in Monroe, was an active participant in Make It In Union County, as well as Chair of the 2023 Union County NC Chamber Board of Directors. He was involved in several other civic and nonprofit organizations.
In Eric's honor, we have created the Eric Dixon Memorial Scholarship Fund, to provide scholarships to South Piedmont Community College students interested in manufacturing, trades, and apprenticeships.
If you are interested in contributing to the scholarship fund, please consider donating to:
