Mfg-Supplier/Associate: Growth Dynamics, Dayton, OH
Be recognized for your outstanding business practices through MHEDA's Most Valuable Partner and Most Valuable Supplier Award Programs. Companies who earn the MVP Award (for Distributors) or the MVS Award (for Suppliers) have a tangible method for “branding” their excellence.
If you received an email this week from MHEDA asking you to complete a survey regarding your personal experience with activities sponsored by associations including conferences, education, advocacy, publications, member networks, and other programs, services, or communications – please consider completing so that MHEDA and other associations can better serve our communities.
The email, titled “Help shape the future of your association experience,” included a unique URL which allows you to complete the survey anonymously. MHEDA will not have access to your responses.
MHEDA is participating in this research study led by ASAE’s Center for Association Leadership in order to study the contributions of associations to members and stakeholders across industries, government, public, educational, and business sectors. By participating in this confidential and anonymous survey, you will be helping MHEDA position ourselves to serve you and the material handling industry in the future.
Additionally, ASAE will offer you a $5 Amazon gift code as a token of their thanks for completing this online survey within the next three weeks. Be sure to provide an email address at the end of the survey to receive your gift code. 
Convention Focus
Please be aware that a company is calling MHEDA Members and saying that they are able to reserve a room for the 2020 MHEDA Convention at the Hilton Bonnet Creek. This is a SCAM and they are not affiliated with MHEDA. We will provide a link to make reservations, as well as a phone number to call the hotel.
News You Can Use
Looking for economic insight? MHEDA has partnered with ITR Economics to create a quarterly, customized economic report exclusively available to Members. The fourth quarter report is now available.
Each year in the first quarter issue of The MHEDA Journal, we include forecasts from a variety of sources, including ITR Economics, MHI, ITA and CEMA. We also include forecasts from MHEDA Distributors and Suppliers. To make these forecasts as accurate as possible, we need MHEDA member participation. We ask that distributors who would like to participate in the 2020 Economic Forecast, click here. Suppliers who would like to participate in the 2020 Economic Forecast, please click here. Any questions about this year's forecase, please email sguglielmo@naylor.com. THE LAST DAY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2020 FORECAST IS TODAY, NOVEMBER 15. According to NAW SmartBrief: Analysts and economists have been discussing the possibility of an economic recession next year, but many distributors and manufacturers remain confident about the economy as 2020 approaches, writes Bridget McCrea. "I don't expect negative GDP, so I don't expect a recession," says Mayer Electric Supply President Wes Smith.
