Good Attendance Expected for Fall Ops Managers Meeting
You are invited to join your colleagues and customers in the wire industry
at the Operations Managers Meeting of the American Wire Producers
Association (AWPA). The meeting will take place November 8-9, 2005 at the
Houston Marriott North at Greenspoint in Houston, Texas. Attendees will
enjoy tours of Insteel Industries, Inc., which includes wire drawing,
straighten & cut, and wire welding equipment; and MMI Products, Inc. which
manufactures fence products.
This 2-day program has been designed to suit the needs of the Operations
Manager - by providing important information to manage operations and
opportunities to confer with colleagues.
The program has multiple topics and should include something for everyone.
The issues are determined as a result of suggestions by members who
regularly attend AWPA Operations Managers Meetings. The Transportation
Market, Medical Benefits, Wire and Wire Product Imports and How to Conduct
an Energy Audit were at the top of everyone's list so we will have experts
on hand to provide information and answer burning questions. Roundtable
discussions that address topics of current interest are a great opportunity
for more interaction.
Visit the AWPA website to register today and save time and money! The
deadline for earlybird meeting registration and hotel reservations is
Monday, October 24, 2005. We expect excellent attendance this year, as
several of AWPA multi-plant companies have again agreed to hold their
company plant managers meeting before and after the AWPA meeting. This means
a broader opportunity to speak to others who are in your position and learn
how others are solving the issues that face you!
