Ann Schneider

I recently joined the Fabricators & Manufacturer's Association in February 2015. Our primary mission is to advocate for the growth and sustainability of the North American metal processing, forming, and fabricating industries. As part of the Education, Membership and Foundation department, my roles will include educational program development, membership product development and marketing support, along with social media and website content support.

Prior to this position, the bulk of my professional experience was in publishing at the daily newspaper in Rockford, IL. I was in production and advertising, primarily as a graphic designer and project/programs coordinator. For the last 4 years of my tenure, I was a hands-on manager for a group of 10-12 employees. My team was responsible for completing 350-600 print and online advertisements per week. My creative skills were used primarily for special sections and key accounts.
