President's Message for September 2010
MHSNJ President Fred Gerstler and a fish.With most of us returning from vacation and slowly getting back into the mindset of work, I felt the above photo was relevant with my first message as the President of the MHSNJ. The message is simple, vacations are a wonderful way to recharge, helping one to focus on the challenging business climate that all of us have been facing these past few years.
I know of more people who are out of work then any other time in my twenty five years in this business and for those who are working, I would be hard pressed to find someone who isn't working harder for less.
That is why an organization such as The Material Handling Society of NJ is more important than ever. We are a gateway that offers so many opportunities. Our tours are designed so you can see how others move their products, helping you to work smarter. Our guest speakers are relevant and offer insights and ideas that sometimes you can only realize when you take a step back and look at your operation through a different set of eyes. Lastly, our networking opportunities allow you to meet some of the sharpest professionals in our industry. All for $95.00 per year, that's an investment that I think, is a no-brainer.
You may notice some differences with the Material Handling Society this year. First, our newsletter is being produced in a different format. We realized that many of you were no longer reading the electronic version we sent in the past. Utilizing this new format makes viewing easy and computer friendly. As the newsletter evolves you will be able to click on links that you may find pertinent.
The second thing you'll notice is our new toll free phone number. Contacting your desired party will be quick and effortlessly done by simply dialing their extension.
Lastly, I want to thank Dave Lodwig for his years of dedicated service as our President. Dave is a true gentleman and working for him as his executive VP was a pleasure and honor.
I look forward to seeing all of you at our September Kickoff. I'd like to think of it as educationally fun. Forsgate Industrial Partners will be our sponsor and, for that, I want to say thank you for allowing us access to this very aggressive project and for helping to offset our meeting costs.
