A Message from MDNA President John Greene, CEA
Where to begin? Well, it has been an interesting and crazy rst year or so as your MDNA President. Normally, I would have stood up at this year’s convention and shared with the attendees the Association’s successes over the last year and my vision for the next year. I think it is appropriate to rst offer my thoughts and prayers for all those that we have lost, over the last year, either to this Covid-19 or other causes. And of course, I do have to talk about the Covid-19 thing. I will leave it to the media to beat to death the facts and ctions of the current situation. I will say that I know we are all effected, in one way or another, and the end of this nightmare is currently anyone’s guess. I have heard from some of you that business is continuing to be strong, and some have indicated that business is weak or falling off. And I have heard from those whose businesses have taken a direct, long- term hit. The bottom line is that the pandemic is real and has caused, in some cases, irreputable harm. As a trade association, we do not have a silver bullet or a magic wand to make everything return to the way it was. But the MDNA has taken steps over the last seven months to provide our membership with as many of the same services as prior to the pandemic. We have brought members together, albeit electronically, for chapter meetings and educational programs such as Lunch-and-Learn Webinars, we have hosted accountants and sales training experts as guest speakers. All these programs were available live and are also stored on the MDNA members-only section of the website for referral as needed. The latter is a great member tool for new employee training. This past year also saw our subsidiary, Locator Services Inc., join with Machine Hub in a successful strategic partnership. Now, allow me to clear the air on something right here: Locator was not sold, nor was it bought. Locator Services Inc. remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of the MDNA. In its partnership with Machine Hub, we have found a very competent partner to take both our listing service and the customer and inventory management product, instruments that MDNA members have relied on for many years, to the next level. Don’t have to take my word for it- I am just one happy user! Call others, and you will hear the proof from all your fellow members who are using these tools. It seems like an eternity ago, but when I recall the highlights of my rst year, I must mention the Weekend With The Pros in Cincinnati, which was sponsored by the Ohio Valley Chapter. This event would not have been successful without the monumental efforts of Paul Rensing of Weld Plus, Ohio Chapter Chairman Chris Simons, and all the chapter members and sponsors. The Association has welcomed twelve new members over this year, and we look forward to getting to know them and working with them. Please take the opportunity to read about them in this edition of the news. And I encourage you to be the member that picks up the phone and introduces yourself; you may just nd it rewarding both personally and professionally. It is unfortunate that circumstance caused the cancelation of our Convention, scheduled to take place in New Orleans, as well as our other large networking event this year, the Chicago Chapter IMTS Networking Dinner. But we are a resilient organization! Having been founded in 1941, we have survived a world war and many other national and world events and disasters. And your Board of Directors and I are committed to seeing the Association through this pandemic. Please stay safe, strong, and positive through this, and we will all be together as soon as safely possible. MDNA NEWS | PAGE 3
Proposed Change to the MDNA Cons tu on The MDNA Board of Directors unanimously passed the following mo on. (Note: Because these ac ons require amendments to the MDNA Cons tu on, these measures are beingpublished below, and ballots will be sent to the en re membership for a vote, no less than 30 days from this publica on) Mo on To change the MDNA Cons tu on by adding the following language to Ar cle VI – Vo ng: “A quorum is determined by the total number of eligible voters in a endance regardless of how or whether they vote on a par cular issue. In all vo ng at the Na onal, Chapter, or Commi ee level, an absten on shall not be counted as either a yes or no vote, nor shall it be counted in the total number of votes cast.” Explana on: The current language in Ar cle VI reads: “On all ma ers requiring a vote, each company shall have only one vote, except as stated in Ar cle III.A.1.a. Where a company has more than one loca on and belongs to more than one Chapter, it, too, shall have only one vote. Where it is not prohibited, a company may appoint a proxy to a end a mee ng and vote in its place.” There is no change to the exis ng language. This amendment is an addi on to clarify the defini on and use of a "Quorum" and an "Absten on" to comply with Roberts Rules of Order. This change makes clear that all in a endance will be used to establish a quorum. However, only the yes or no votes will be counted in determining the outcome of the ma er being voted on. An Absten on will not be counted in the vo ng totals and therefore will not be counted as a "no" vote.
ADLSF Ray Roberts’ Raffle While this year’s drawing looked a little different the excitement was just as palpable as any other year. President of the Austin D. Lucas Fund Kristine Conroy hosted the drawing live, via Zoom, from her home. With virtual attendees watching she methodically drew the winners; Al Duenas of Sanson Machinery Group was the lucky big $10,000 winner. Other winners included John Morgan Greene of FL Sales, Inc. who won $2000, Terrance Jacobs of TCL Asset Group, Inc. who won $1,500 and $1000 was won by Elliot Foster of CMMXYZ. In addressing the audience, Mrs. Conroy said “I would like to thank everyone for their support of the Ray Roberts Raffle for the Austin D. Lucas Scholarship Fund. When you purchase a raffle ticket you help a student further their education. In these difficult and unusual times, the students need our support more than ever. I would especially like to thank the MDNA members who sold raffle tickets. Your time and effort is greatly appreciated. Thank you: Norm Jacobs, Joe Lundvick, John Greene, Randy Stevens, Brad Wilson, Michael Lachant, Chuck Wood, Kim Khoury, Andy Kamashian, John Butz, Jeannine Harris, and Dan Wheeler.
