The second week of November, over 185 women from all 21 chapters of the association convened at a Universal Studios property in Orlando, FL to learn truths and techniques to better manage their work lives and association business. Some of the truths identified were: It’s not the experience, it how we live the experience. If you want to change the experience, you need to change the filter. So much of
our experience is predicated in the consciousness with which we enter it. Most people tiptoe through life hoping to make it safely to death. Women are a bit afraid of change; they have a life that has a rhythm and a comfort to it. Super girls become wonder women. Build each other up; help each other out; become a
mentor. Creating customer loyalty is about understanding your vulnerabilities. We want better innovation, and we want it now! Toyota principles: Safety-Quality-Mass Reduction-Cost Reduction. The vehicles Toyota sells in the USA are 70% sourced in the USA and 95% sourced locally. The new administration is likely to emphasize increased infrastructure spending, which is good for the USA steel industry. Canada has already reached out to the USA lawmakers to revise NAFTA to better meet USA objectives. From Heidi Brock, the President of the Aluminum Association, at the opening reception dinner: Strengthen your voice, use your voice and get engaged in the conversation. The Chinese word for “candor” is a combination of the two words “to speak” and “to accomplish”. No matter your political position, there is no more important time than now to get involved and have your voice heard. It’s easy to compartmentalize ourselves, but the challenge is to integrate all aspects of our lives because it adds strength to our efforts. It’s key to get your members involved in the process. Reflect on why you’re passionate about what your doing. It was a great event and all should plan to attend in 2017 when the conference will be held in Chicago.
LAST ISSUE UNTIL A NEW EDITOR STEPS UP AND VOLUNTEERS
One of the purposes of the association is to provide opportunities for
members to step out of their comfort zones and learn new skills. We need a new editor for the chapter newsletter
to continue. We are committed to mentoring and will fully support the
new editor in their efforts.
Congratulations to Grace Lavigne of American Metal Market for stepping up as chapter secretary. We’re always looking to mentor new ladies to serve in the leadership of the chapter, please reach out to us at
awmi.newyork@gmail.com.

Increasing AWMI’s Presence On Social Media
During the conference, there
was both a Facebook
scavenger hunt and a tweeting contest as the social media committee worked to
increase the associations
presence on social media.. Most chapters now have LinkedIn and Facebook
pages. Make sure to go out and
connect with us.
MANY THANKS!

The Northeast Region was the “host” for the Orlando conference and collected items for the raffle fundraiser, sold raffle tickets, made and sold conference t-
shirts, assimilated the participant goodie bags, hosted the first evening cocktail reception with a fun Jeopardy style game and worked the registration desk.
Thanks to all who pitched in!
