Dear MwDA Members & Industry Friends, We are very pleased to announce that the 2013 MwDA Annual Meeting & Dinner is scheduled for Monday, November 18, 2013 at Ditka s Restaurant located at Two Mid-America Plaza in Oak Brook Terrace, Illinois, which is on the northwest corner of 22 nd Street and Route 83 directly across from Oak Brook Center. Please be sure to register or submit a proxy form by November 11, 2013. As per usual, the cocktail reception will begin at 5:00pm, and dinner will be served at 6:00pm. Following a delicious meal with plenty of camaraderie, we are very fortunate that Michael Halloran, CFA, Senior Research Analyst Process Controls for R. W. Baird Co., Inc., has accepted our invitation to speak. Michael will share his team s outlook and analysis of end-user markets for both the PHCP and industrial PVF segments of our industry. The evening will conclude by 8:30pm with the election of officers and directors for 2014. Your business is successful today, in large part, because of the relationships you ve built over many years in this industry. That is not something that happens overnight or via e-mail or text messaging. Local and regional events, like this, are ideal opportunities to help those who represent the next generation of leadership for your company begin to cultivate relationships with channel partners that will help them to ensure its continued success into the future. Please consider bringing a rising star that demonstrates this promise. A copy of the registration form for the MwDA Annual Meeting & Fall Industry Dinner is enclosed. You will also find a copy of the slate of officers and directors for 2014 as well as a proxy form. It is very important that as many of our members as possible are represented either in-person or by proxy for this meeting. Therefore, any member companies that will not be represented in-person at the Annual Meeting should complete the proxy form. This another great opportunity for channel partners from throughout the Midwest to get together! Please be sure to register or return your proxy form by not later than Monday, November 11, 2013. Sincerely, Timothy D. Milford, Milford Supply Company MwDA President Christopher A. Murin, Midwest Distributors Association Executive
