- Women in Industry
- And More
MHEDA-NET is one of the most efficient ways of networking to share best practices and current happenings in your industry or segment. I always look forward to the next MHEDA-NET meeting and always end with some good takeaway. - John Gelsimino, President, All Lift Service Company
How Does MHEDA-NET Work?
Step 1: Application
Fill out the application found here to be considered for a group. You can select the groups you are interested in, recommend a colleague, and even sign up to be a facilitator.
NOTE: Placement in an existing group may depend on potential competition with current group member companies. Forming a new group requires at least four interested members, and the timeline may vary based on interest.
Step 2: MHEDA’s Support
To promote an effortless experience, MHEDA will serve as the administrator for groups and guide this phase. MHEDA will review your application and reach out with opportunities catered to you based on your areas of interest, expertise, and requests.
Step 3: Meetings
A designated group leader will be assigned at the beginning stages of a new group. Some of the responsibilities include developing an agenda, moderating discussion, and reviewing profiles of members who might want to join your group. Once your group is formed, MHEDA will work with your facilitator to schedule meetings, provide industry trends for discussion, and more.
What Can We Discuss?
Each group has the opportunity to set their own agendas and discuss topics that are relevant to them. Each facilitator is also given a list of material handling business trends, discussion questions, and more to keep the ball rolling throughout your experience.
