Manufacturers’ Executive Council (MEC)

Overview

Manufacturers’ Executive Council (MEC) is an exclusive group of owners and senior executives from non-competing CME member manufacturers who meet monthly to gain strategic insights, share ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences. MEC is a peer-mentoring forum where executives can exchange confidential business information related to the ongoing operations and growth of their businesses. Meetings are highly interactive and participants are expected to share their experiences on various topics to help the group resolve their strategic and operational business challenges. Groups also gain access to CME resources and trusted third party subject matter experts.
