Indium Corporation proudly announces that Rick Short, Corporate Associate Vice President and Senior Director of Marketing Communications, and Jim McCoy, Talent Acquisition Supervisor, have been awarded the CNY BEST Award for Individual/Team by the CNY chapter of the Association for Talent Development (ATD).

One judge commented, “This is a delightful fusion of workplace learning, workplace readiness, and academic learning – a successful collaboration.”
