SFMA 46th Annual Manufacturers Meeting
"creating competitive advantage"

October 4, 2006
4:30 pm - 8:45 pm
The Signature Grand

The South Florida Manufacturers Association celebrates 46 years of advocacy for the manufacturing industry at its Annual Meeting scheduled for October 4^th themed “Creating Competitive Advantage.”  You are cordially invited to attend.

This year we are pleased and fortunate to have as our Keynote Speaker, Jaynie Smith, an expert and author on the topic of Competitive Advantage. Does your organization STAND OUT from the crowd? Can everyone in your company effectively and truthfully answer the question “Why us?” when a potential customer asks why they should buy from your company instead of the competition? Ms. Smith will give an eye-opening presentation on what competitive advantage is and what it isn’t. I guarantee you will be surprised at what you learn!

The Annual Meeting gives members, prospects and related businesses an opportunity to meet and learn about what is actually made in South Florida, to discuss problems and issues that presently plague the manufacturing industry and to celebrate successes that have occurred throughout the year. “This year we have much to celebrate, with the passage of bills that eliminate sales tax on capital equipment and sales tax on research and development.” says Thomas Kennedy, SFMA Chairman. “We are hoping that State Senator Jeffrey Atwater and Representative Matthew Meadows will be with us at the Annual Meeting to celebrate this success and receive our formal thanks for sponsoring the manufacturers’ bill this year and promoting its passing.”

Join the Board of Directors and our Corporate Partners - CB Richard Ellis, Daszkal Bolton, Digital Media Network, Inc. (DMNI), Lewis Longman and Walker, P.A., Randstad, Slaton Insurance and Wachovia - at the October 4^th Annual Meeting Celebration in any of the following ways!
