THE YEAR OF WOMEN IN MACHINERY John W. Conroy, Machinery International Corporation --- “The MDNA's Lifetime Achievement Award has only been presented six times in MDNA’S 74-year history. Tonight we make it seven. It is my pleasure to present the MDNA Lifetime Achievement Award to my dear friend Jeannine Harris. Everyone in this room knows that the used machinery industry is a very male dominated one. And yet, this evening we have presented the MDNA's Earl Elman Distinguished Service Award to a woman. In addition we are turning over the reins of leadership of our Association to our new President-another woman…..these women have become so important to the MDNA while representing a very small minority of used machinery dealers.
“It’s difficult to be away, hard to travel….. But I’m telling you get involved with us and you will love it. It will be so gratifying for you. Thank you all for this award.” – Jeannine Harris
Jeannine left her mark on practically every facet of the Association including public relations, membership, staff reorganization, etc. She eventually became MDNA's first woman President and one of MDNA's best Presidents. “ John W. Conroy, CEA, Machinery International Corp., presenting the MDNA Lifetime Achievement Award to Jeannine Harris, Harris Machine Tools, Inc.
Jack Boecher, AEA, MDNA Past President, Raco Industrial Corp. presents The Earl Elman Distinguished Service Award to Kristine Conroy, President of the Austin D. Lucas Scholarship Fund.
“There is no one more dedicated to advancing children and education. Kristine is a tireless worker for her two committees with a passion that drives her forward. She has been the key development player in helping this small association raise over two million dollars in scholarship funding.” – Jack Boecher, AEA, MDNA Past President, Raco Industrial Corp.
WORDS FROM THE NEW MDNA PRESIDENT
“I know that your vision and creativity will help us to continue the many successes achieved under the direction of Past President Ron Shuster.”...
“I am very excited for this next adventure here in the MDNA. We have some of the brightest and most dashing men in the machinery industry at this table - MDNA First Vice President Joe Lundvick, CEA, MDNA Second Vice President John Greene, CEA, MDNA Treasurer Terry Yoder and AMEA President, Jack Mendenhall, CEA. I am so excited to work with you to grow our association and to give valuable tools and experiences to all our members. I know that your vision and creativity will help us to continue the many successes achieved under the direction of Past President Ron Shuster. This incredible team has grown the association in the past two years. We created a Premier Vendor marketing program, aggressively campaigned for new members, updated our web site and launched the association into the universe of social media. Our new officer team is excited to take the next steps to continue to grow membership and provide the
Khoury Family
best resources and benefits possible. Our strongest assets are you, our members. We plan to increase networking opportunities at the national and chapter levels. We want our members to be the most well-informed in the industry; and with the help of the AMEA, we’ll bring new educational experiences to all of our members.
We will continue to grow if we work together. We’ll commit to always get our members the information they need in a timely fashion… and in turn, we hope our members can come to the board with their ideas and suggestions to make MDNA a better and stronger trade association.” Kim Khoury, CEA, MDNA President MDNA Action Machinery Co. Inc.NEWS | PAGE 7
The following sponsors are truly appreciated
O
n behalf of the MDNA Board of Directors, we want to extend a heart-felt thank you for your commitment to making this event so successful. It was the vision of the Board of Directors and the Convention Committee to educate, entertain, and provide a networking forum for our members in a pleasant, comfortable environment.
Your generous contributions helped make our vision a reality by helping to offset the cost of holding the Conference in our Nations Capital, Washington, D.C. at the Historic Mayflower Renaissance Hotel. As we continue to grow as an association, please know that partnerships with our sponsors are vital to the success of this association. Night at the Museum
