Dear Members and Section Friends,
The March 22nd meeting at Case IH was a huge success! Over 120 attendees joined us for a fantastic tour and technical presentation. They demonstrated a great example of their World Class Manufacturing (WCM) production system. Case IH is experiencing tremendous growth. Anyone interested in employment opportunities should visit their website at: http://www.cnh.com/Careers/Pages/home.aspx. Many thanks to Case IH for sponsoring the meeting and providing great support for our Section.
Michigan Tech University hosted an outstanding Clean Snowmobile Challenge event this year. As in past years, the Milwaukee Section contributed a $1,000 sponsorship to the competition. Recognition goes to Jay Meldrum for leading the event coordination.
Mark your calendars for the Baja SAE competition June 7-10th in Burlington, WI at the MGA Research Corporation proving grounds. Event details can be found at http://www.baja.wisc.edu/index.htm. Please contact Glenn Bower (grbower@facstaff.wisc.edu) if you’d like to be a volunteer for the event.
Milwaukee Section governing board officer nominations and elections will occur in March/April. Please send any nominations to Jim.Ryan@cat.com. The election committee will make a final selection and announce the 2012-2013 officers in the April newsletter.
Best regards,
Jim Ryan
Chairman – Milwaukee Section
