Be recognized for your outstanding business practices through MHEDA's Most Valuable Partner and Most Valuable Supplier Award Programs. Companies who earn the MVP Award (for Distributors) or the MVS Award (for Suppliers) have a tangible method for “branding” their excellence.
2019 MHEDA Chairman of the Board Mike Vaughan (Liftech Equipment Company) and incoming 2020 Chairman of the Board Mike Wall (CSI Material Handling) met at the MHEDA Office to transition the office of Chairman of the Board.

News You Can Use
The general US economy is on the back side of the business cycle. This means weakening economic conditions, generally confusing news articles, and speculation about what it means for consumers, businesses, politicians, and retirees. It is important to note that not everything is going down; some industries are relatively acyclical or seem to be countercyclical. However, overall, we are seeing broad-based weakness encompassing leading parts of the economy (housing), coincident measures (GDP and US Total Industrial Production), and lagging segments (nonresidential new construction). The rest of the world is in more or less the same situation.
