PartnerShip Celebrates Manufacturing Day, Friday, October 5th!
10/02/2018 — Jerry Spelic
PartnerShip is proud to help celebrate Manufacturing Day 2018.
MFG Day was started in 2012 to acknowledge the large role manufacturing plays in the US economy and to help inspire the next generation of engineers and manufacturers. Its main purpose is to educate and inform students, teachers, and community leaders about how important manufacturing is to their local community and their local economy. PartnerShip is proud to partner with many organizations that support and promote manufacturing, such as NTMA, MAPP, PMPA, Manufacturing Works, and many others!
There is an increasing skilled labor shortage in the manufacturing sector, and MFG Day gives manufacturers an opportunity to open their doors and correct the misperception that manufacturing involves repetitive, unskilled tasks that happen in dark, dirty factories; it’s an opportunity to show people what modern manufacturing really looks like. Manufacturing offers high-quality jobs and career choices. Consider these statistics:
Manufacturing comprises nearly 12% of the GDP of the US. (Source: Bureau of Economic Analysis)
In 2017, the average manufacturing worker in the United States earned $84,832 annually, including pay and benefits. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics)
Last year, 600,000 people attended MFG Day events, including 267,000 students.
PartnerShip works with hundreds of manufacturers and we’re proud to spread the word about the importance of manufacturing. If you’re a manufacturer that wants to work with a shipping partner that understands your business, contact PartnerShip for a quote on your next shipment!
PartnerShip recently exhibited at NBAA2015 in Las
Vegas. Held November 17th through the 19th, NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition showcased
the industry’s vitality and relevance. The show featured over 1,100 exhibitors,
taking up 2/3rds of the Las Vegas Convention Center and part of the Henderson
Executive Airport. The more than 27,000 attendees enjoyed educational and
networking sessions, special guests (including Dirks Bentley and Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger), product
announcements, indoor and outdoor static displays, and much more!
As the company that manages the NBAA Shipping Program,
PartnerShip always looks forward to this show as a way to connect with members,
see what’s happening in the industry, and save members money on shipping.
PartnerShip set up shop right next to the Innovation
Zone, one of the most exciting parts of the show, which featured sessions on everything from the future of planes and flying, to flight deck
connectivity issues to developments in "detect and avoid" technology
for unmanned aircraft systems. In that
space, we provided information on the shipping program, enrolled members in
the program, and collected information from attendees to win a FedEx Model
Plane! We had close to 200 entries for the plane but there can only be one
winner….congratulations to Bruce from Golf Cart Connection! Thank you to everyone who entered
and better luck next year at NBAA2016!
NBAA has put together some great recap information on the
conference, including a press release
that details all of the show highlights. We picked out one to share in this
post – the NBAA2015 Video Minute below which provides a great overview of the sights
and sounds of the show.
The Can't Miss Event for Association Professionals
06/08/2015 — Matt Nagel
PartnerShip will be exhibiting at the ASAE Annual Meeting
& Exposition this year in Detroit, Michigan on August 8th-11th. As a partner to over 140 associations, the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exhibition
is a date that is circled on our calendars every year. It’s a great chance to spread the word about a PartnerShip managed Shipping Program as a valuable member benefit, as well as see some current
association partners.
From an association standpoint, there are many reasons to
attend the ASAE Annual Meeting & Exposition year after year. For some, it’s
the 120+ education sessions designed to generate ideas and provoke new
thinking. For others, it’s access to fabulous parties and networking
opportunities with over 5,000 colleagues from around the country.
We can vouch for the value of this show and encourage all
association professionals to make their way up to Detroit for this once-a-year
opportunity.We'll be in booth #233, so stop by and say hello!
