er side who understood my experiences.” Jennifer Goodman, Senior Manager of Talent Initiatives at Coca-Cola Consolidated, drew on her experiences as a military spouse: “Military spouses are 92 percent women and have a 22 percent unemployment rate. That’s a huge labor pool that’s going underemployed or unemployed.” While relocation is often a concern for companies, Goodman points out that it does not have to be a dis- advantage: “Think of manufacturers who have locations across the country. Maybe you can start a military spouse at one location and then move them to another. Or, if they’ve proven themselves after a few years, you could transition them to remote work. “The benefits don’t stop with the one military spouse you hire,” she added. “We’re a very loyal community with great word of mouth and a larger referral network.” “Don’t underestimate the value of an event like this Solution Series can have. You can take the information, en- ergy and passion that you get from meeting with people who have the same goal of building a stronger economy and use it to power you forward,” said Nathan Huret, Eco- nomic Development Director for Catawba County.

Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
