#PMPAstories: Tell Us Your Story
There are so many stories to tell, and Carli encourages PMPA members to share
their PMPA professional and personal stories.
#pmpa
There are 86 years of stories. The Precision Machined Products Association (PMPA) has been bringing the precision machining industry together since 1933. That’s years of yarns from the National Technical Conference, Update Conference (formerly Management Update), and Annual Meeting. Slews of stories from chapter meetings, golf outings and committee meetings. An abundance of anecdotes from ListServe email threads and face-to-face conversations over a beer.
“What so-and-so said” stories. “Then and now” stories. “The funniest thing happened” stories. “We have been friends since” stories. “I’ll never forget” stories. “If it wasn’t for PMPA” stories and so many more. And we want to hear them all!
Tell your story on PMPA’s social media channels: LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook and use #PMPAstories. (Let’s be adults —Please don’t embarrass anyone.) Don’t forget to read other people’s stories, too. We’ll share some of our favorites in a future Production Machining issue! So ... what’s your story?
