“I’ve learned so much from conference speakers and panelists, and have always left each conference with at least two or three takeaways that would greatly benefit our company...HMN's role as a voice for manufacturers, as a source of education and information for our membership, and even as a lobbying arm for our members’ interests, is vital and essential.” John Brezack, President & CEO, Dale Medical Products, Inc.
