Have your Voice Heard in CESMII’s New SME Affinity Group
|
|
CESMII recently announced plans to formally launch an Affinity Group focused on the needs of small-to-medium sized manufacturing enterprises (SMEs). This announcement is a continuation of the institute’s efforts to engage and empower smaller manufacturers, further demonstrated by CESMII’s previous commitment to make institute-directed project funds available in 2020 to small-to-medium enterprises.
What is a CESMII Affinity Group (AG)? An AG is a group of members from the CESMII membership base that has an interest in a particular manufacturing sector or problem and works collaboratively to share experiences, perspectives and best practices. Affinity Groups are charged with examining a manufacturing sector or problem strategically, and its members bring their unique abilities, capabilities, and interests to engage the CESMII ecosystem, as needed or desired. In short, Affinity Groups are your chance to have your voice heard!
For more information on this and other Affinity Groups, visit our website or contact us at info@cesmii.org. Join one today and get engaged!
