Fellow PMPA Members:
Without a doubt, this has been one of the most challenging years for our industry in the history of the Precision Machined Products Association. During my term as PMPA President, I've been impressed by how many of you have reinvented your companies and found new ways to compete as global producers of precision parts. I've learned a great deal from all of you and enjoyed the experience serving as president of the association.
On behalf of PMPA's Executive Committee, please join us at this year's Annual Meeting at The Westin Savannah Harbor in Savannah, Georgia, October 24th - 28th, where we'll focus on "Vision - Strategy - Success" as our three main objectives. Business leaders from all parts of the precision machined products supply chain will be in attendance at this year's event, and together we'll share our vision of the future, discuss strategic issues and explore opportunities for success.
Speakers on business strategy, economics, politics, public policy, profitability, healthcare reform and wellness will provide tremendous take home value for everyone, while setting the stage for lively discussions between conference attendees.
Now is the time to register, reserve your room and make your travel arrangements to the Southern coastal city of Savannah, Georgia. Plan on attending this year's Annual Meeting and take advantage of all the networking this conference has to offer. Either download and return the Meeting Reservation Form or access the online Annual Meeting Reservations webpage to register.
Make this part of your 4th Quarter Business Plan, and let's get ready for new opportunities that lie ahead in 2010!
Cordially,

B. Scott Eighmy, PMPA President 2008-2009
Chief Executive Officer, American Turned Products, Fairview, PA
