Link Up With MHEDA’s 2011 Board

Feb. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- The First Quarter 2011 issue of The MHEDA Journal (http://www.themhedajournal.org), the leading online magazine for the forklift, conveyor, storage & handling, and general material handling equipment industries, was mailed to subscribers on January 31 and is now accessible online at www.TheMhedaJournal.org.

This issue includes the annual Meet the Board feature introducing the members of the association board to the membership. MHEDA’s Board is made up of ten directors, two advisors and a five-person executive committee, as well as four-member Manufacturers Board of Advisors. Chuck Frank, president/CEO of AHS Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio, is MHEDA’s 2011 President.

To introduce this year’s Board, The MHEDA Journal developed imaginary LinkedIn pages based on the 21 Board members’ responses to a series of questions. “In today’s business climate, it’s more important than ever for MHEDA members to stay connected,” the article reads. “Here’s what thee business pages for MHEDA’s 2011 Board members might look like complete with a little personal employment and educational background, the role they will play for the association, their go-to websites, a one-sentence personal summary and some additional information.” Additional information was culled from responses such as their favorite book, the one thing they couldn’t live without, interests outside of work, the strangest application for material handling equipment that they’ve seen, and many more.

The online version of the article, contains links to each Board members actual website and social media accounts on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook where applicable.
