As always, to hear first-hand from reps on the state of the market, challenges and the evolving role of manufacturers’ reps, Supply House Times held its annual Rep Council roundtable discussion where five engaged AIM/R members gather to discuss the hot-topics.

Steve Woodford, president of WCM Industries, was honored with the 2022 Golden Eagle Award by the Association of Independent Manufacturers’ (AIM/R) membership during a Gala celebration at the rep association’s 50^th Annual Conference at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado on Friday, October 14.

AIM/R will celebrate its 50^th Anniversary this fall at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center. The Association is returning to its roots and where the first Annual Conference was held back in 1973. Registration and housing for the AIM/R 50^th Annual Conference (Oct. 12 – 14, 2022) is open. 

AIM/R will hold its 50^th Annual Conference October 12 -15, 2022 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora/Denver, Colorado. The Association is returning to its roots and where the first Annual Conference was held back in 1973. The theme is "Mission Celebrate." 

In an industry in which many of its members become as close as family, there is often a significant feeling of loss — and the proverbial empty chair — when one of its vital veteran members retires.
