SUPPLIER INSIGHT MANN HIGGINS Networking Is Key W ith SNAXPO 2016 wrapped up and the new brand of SNAC International introduced, the year ahead is crucial. As President & CEO Tom Dempsey and Chairman Mark Winkelman have noted, SNAC International will still operate under the three established pillars: networking, advocacy and education. Of the three pillars, the main benefit associate members hope to gain from membership and participation is networking. To achieve that, the main objective for the AEC over the next year will be to focus on the networking function of SNAC International. Improved networking for associate members comes from increased participation of business members in the activities of the association. Increased participation of business members will come from bigger event value, including new and established associate members presenting novel business concepts. A bigger tent is also one of the main objectives of the new brand, specifically focusing on better-for-you brands and international participation. As president of the AEC, I plan to continue to encourage associate member participation in the search for new and varying business members and look forward to working closely with SNAC International.
