Dayton Region Manufacturers Association announces retirement of president Angelia Erbaugh
After 26 years of leadership, Angelia Erbaugh has announced her retirement as President of the Dayton Region Manufacturers Association (DRMA) in 2025.
David Reger, Chair of the DRMA board, states, “We cannot thank Angelia enough for her steady and unwavering dedication to DRMA and the region’s manufacturing industry. We are grateful and fortunate that Angelia has agreed to stay with DRMA through 2025 to ensure a gradual and smooth transition.”
Erbaugh joined DRMA (then known as Dayton Tooling and Machining Association - DTMA) in September 1997 (DRMA has been in business 90 years). Under Erbaugh’s leadership, the DRMA achieved several milestones, including 1) name change and brand evolution, 2) move to a more diverse and inclusive manufacturing and associate member base, 3) implementation of sound business practices, 4) significant member growth and regional visibility and 5) establishment of a broad base of diverse educational, community, business and government partners.
Known for her accomplished and adept management style and as a relationship builder, Erbaugh’s drive and passion for manufacturing have been critical to the success of DRMA during her tenure. Her legacy to the Dayton Region will leave a lasting impact not only on the manufacturing community but also on the entire regional business landscape.
The search for Erbaugh’s replacement will be led by Steve Black of Brixey & Meyer.
