Manufacturing Alliance Meeting

What BOI Manufacturing Alliance members say

I liked the round table discussions. Prompts that lead to the groups talking in discussions and sharing stories were beneficial.

— Cayla Kunkel
CKE

Every minute of this meeting was beneficial and everything was great – the format, the speakers, the hospitality, the other members – everything.

— Mark Coleman
Owner of T & C Stamping

In my own business, I have discovered that the competitive situations I face often resemble those faced by my peers. I have found that if you learn from someone else’s mistakes or successes, it can save you considerable pain.

— John Abrams
President of deVan Sealants

Why reinvent the wheel? I have many successful peers who have already learned and are willing to share their best business practices. It’s like a virtual roadmap to business success without the unwanted detours.

— Tom Croghan
Commerce Color, Inc.

We joined over 10 years ago as a way to constantly improve ourselves and our management team. We attend BOI meetings so that we can keep getting better. Everyone approaches problems differently and we learn something every time we learn how another BOI member solves a problem.
