TTM Technologies, Inc., a leading global manufacturer of technology products, including mission systems, radio frequency (RF) components, RF microwave/microelectronic assemblies, and technologically advanced printed circuit boards (PCBs), is proud to announce that its Syracuse Campus has been named the winner of the fifth annual TTM Chair for Community Service Award. This significant honor recognizes the Syracuse Campus teams across two locations for their exceptional and heartfelt contributions to the Central New York community throughout 2025. As part of the award, TTM will donate $20,000 to the United Way of Central New York.
The Syracuse Campus has maintained a long-standing partnership with the United Way of Central New York (“CNY”). In 2025, two Syracuse locations, including TTM’s newly built 212,000 square foot state of the art ultra-high density PCB facility, unified as the Syracuse Campus to reinvigorate this partnership and expand support for their community. Throughout 2025, the Syracuse Campus organized donation drives and participated in hands-on service events through the United Way of CNY, including greeting cards for seniors in assisted living facilities, gravestone cleaning for veterans' graves, and volunteering at The Samaritan Center soup kitchen. "The United Way of Central New York activates the community to build resilience, improve health outcomes, expand youth opportunities, and enhance financial security, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive," said Meghann Sandak, Chief Development Officer, United Way of Central New York. "The Syracuse Campus' ongoing and consistent contributions have not only demonstrated TTM's dedication to our community but have helped advance our mission significantly."
The TTM Board of Directors and Executive Team established the TTM Chair for Community Service Award in honor of retired TTM Board Chairman Robert Klatell, who served in this role from 2005 to 2021. The award recognizes his community leadership and public service legacy, and provides a $20,000 donation to the winning site's charity of choice, enabling them to continue their vital work in the community.
TTM Syracuse employees, joined by Cathie Gridley, Executive Vice President and President A&D Sector, present a $20,000 check to United Way of Central New York after earning the TTM Chair for Community Service Award for their exceptional commitment to supporting the local community.

Don Ball: It’s Never Felt Like ‘Work’
12/01/2025 |For the November issue of PCB007 Magazine, I was sent a list of questions that would highlight my personality and career. If you’ve read my previous columns, you know I am not reluctant to talk about myself, so here it goes. In my freshman year, inspired by the 1960 Olympics in Rome, I decided to try out for the track team. Of course, I wanted to attain glory as a sprinter, but this turned out to be a less-than-optimal pursuit, and I gradually moved up in distance to become a miler.
