Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia has been named winner of the fifth annual SAE Foundation Gordon Millar Award. Randy Jackson, KMMG's Senior Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, accepted the award.

The award, which is funded by AVL, is given in special recognition of an individual or organization that best demonstrates continuous philanthropic support of the SAE Foundation Mission to encourage and increase student participation and achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

"KMMG takes a one-team approach to everything they do both at work and within the community," said Don Manvel, Chairman, AVL Americas. "That includes an unwavering dedication to STEM education and helping young people in their surrounding counties become a productive and valuable workforce for tomorrow." 

"We're excited and fortunate to be in a position where we can help students in both Georgia and Alabama become not only future potential team members, but also people who enrich their communities by being excellent problem solvers and analytical thinkers," said Jackson. "The SAE Foundation does a phenomenal job helping students become innovators who provide practical solutions to everyday problems. We are honored to accept this award that so embodies everything we believe in."
