More than 80 industry leaders enjoyed networking with their peers at the ACerS Corporate Member breakfast held at this year’s Ceramics Expo.
 
Charlie Spahr, ACerS executive director, explained how ACerS is enhancing its efforts to serve manufacturers and suppliers, including Ceramics Expo, establishment of the Ceramic & Glass Industry Foundation, the Ceramic Business & Leadership Summit, technical workshops, market research, and corporate awards.
 
Membership director Kevin Thompson followed with an explanation of the Corporate Partnership program, designed to forge more meaningful partnerships with member companies. “This new program is about adding value and visibility for our corporate partners, and encouraging ACerS members to support those companies who support the Society,” Thompson explained.
 
Corporate partners receive all benefits available to the 160 existing corporate members, while enjoying valuable new benefits that include advertising, workshops, research reports, and more.
 
The new partnership program will fully replace the existing Corporate Member program by the end of 2018. “Our goal is to best meet the needs of industry by forming partnerships with member companies, and will evolve as we continue to explore how to best meet those needs,” Thompson said.
