Dear PMPA Members and Industry Colleagues:
The past year has been marked by periods of rebirth for our industry during turbulent economic times. We've seen many positive signs in the monthly PMPA Business Trends Report, as member sales have risen dramatically.
Yet, we're all wondering as owners and industry leaders, what lies ahead for our companies in this often volatile global economy? In order to move forward and make the necessary strategic decisions for our organizations, we need access to the very best business intelligence available, as well as opportunities like the PMPA Annual Meeting to connect with other leading producers of precision parts.
The PMPA 2011 Annual Meeting, set for October 21st - 25th, at the Barton Creek Resort, Austin, Texas, will combine the very best in executive level educational experiences with unlimited opportunities for peer-to-peer networking amid formal and informal gatherings, just minutes from downtown Austin, one of the most vibrant, upbeat cities in the Southwest!
I would also encourage you to include your spouse/significant other in your Annual Meeting plans, as well. The vast majority of attendees bring their spouse along to enjoy this time away from the day-to-day routine of operating a business. In addition, we'll be offering an interactive and entertaining spouse session this year to enhance a relatively new conference program.
Be a part of something special - join me and the rest of the PMPA Executive Committee in Austin for the 78th PMPA Annual Meeting. Come to this national event where meaningful face-to-face contacts will replace the flood of email which often steals your valuable time. Building and maintaining an effective network doesn't simply happen online, it takes place through personal contacts made at PMPA events.
Start making your travel plans to Austin, Texas, and register for the conference today!
Cordially,
Jeffrey B. Ohlemacher, PMPA President 2010-2011
CEO, EMC Precision Machining, Elyria, Ohio
