The Cutting Edge™ -WIC 2004 in Review

Outgoing President Chuck Granger Recognized

At the WMMAŽ Business Session on April 23rd, outgoing President Chuck Granger was recognized for his remarkable dedication to the industry and to WMMAŽ. Mr. Granger, who recently retired from 3M Company Sales Center after 37 years of service, was an active member of WMMAŽ for more than 10 years. His energy and participation will be missed, as he moves fully into retirement.

One of the most widely-felt accomplishments of Mr. Granger's Presidency is the successful WMMAŽ Strategic Visioning Process, which he spearheaded in 2002. Through research, consultation and introspection, WMMAŽ realized a strategic plan, the elements of which were implemented during Mr. Granger's Presidential term, and which are still unfolding today.

Committee realignment, including the development of new, focused committees; "cutting edge" benefits to keep our members competitive; and partnerships with companies who now offer business tools to members at a heavily subsidized cost, are just some of the positive marks that Mr. Granger made on WMMAŽ. His goals were realized and his vision was shared by the membership at large. His efforts have shaped our Association's path for the future

Many thanks to Chuck, and best of luck in your retirement
