GSA Business Report has selected Meghan Childress, Quality, Analytics, and Training Manager with Dodge® Bearings and Power Transmission for the 2021 Class of Forty Under 40.
The Forty Under 40 program honors the top 40 business professionals across the Upstate who have excelled in their chosen profession and community service. Please join us in congratulating Meghan Childress for this distinguished honor.
Childress is the Quality, Analytics, and Training Manager with the Inside Sales department. In this role, Childress created and implemented a training program for several departments within the Dodge business. She also trains and instructs Inside Sales representatives who have direct contact with Dodge customers. She started working with Dodge nearly 10 years ago where one of her goals is to make herself and her team the best in the industry. Childress ensures those on her team are responsive to customers, so those customers have positive and memorable experiences.
“I believe leadership is not a one-size-fits-all idea. So, I strive to be genuine, transparent, and true to myself while embodying what makes the Dodge culture special,” Childress said.
Childress is a star at Dodge and within the community. She’s worked on several initiatives with United Way, Meals on Wheels, and the Roper Mountain Science Center.
She is also a graduate of Anderson University where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services with a concentration in Behavioral Science.
GSA Business Report recognizes 40 elite individuals who start companies, lead community efforts for positive change, and who have made an impact that reaches far behind the Forty Under 40 honor.
GSA Business Report’s panel of judges had a difficult challenge in determining who would be named to the 2021 Class of Forty Under 40. Not only did they have to consider the personal, professional dedication, and commitment of service each nominee provides in the Upstate but to have done so in the shadow of a global pandemic indicates this class has been tempered like no other and destined for great things in the future.
