In celebration of Mother’s Day, I would like to honor all mothers working at Madison Air and in the manufacturing industry. Mother’s Day is a day of celebration for those who nurture and love us unconditionally – moms, stepmoms, grandmas, foster moms, and caregivers. At Madison Air, we are committed to creating a culture that supports moms and caregivers. We believe you shouldn’t have to take a pay cut to have a family. That working moms (and dads) should be able to have families and also a path to prosperity. Flexible schedules and parental leave are just a few of the policies we implement to help entrepreneurs pursue both their personal and professional dreams. How did you honor that special person in your life this Mother’s Day? And what are some of your proudest working mom moments?     #MothersDay #Love #Celebration #MomsInBusiness #Appreciation #WomenInBusiness #WomenInManufacturing #MadisonAir
