Manufacturers and Representatives Community

The Manufacturers and Representatives Community (MARC) shall serve as the communication link for the manufacturers, exhibitors, and representatives to the WEF staff, WEF Board members, and other WEF communities.

The community is charged with providing input to the WEF staff on the WEFTEC Conference and other conferences on how the conference programs are working for manufacturing members and how they can be improved to continue to meet the needs of these members. Also, the community shall communicate to WEF staff or other communities issues relating to manufacturers that are impacting members such as regulatory or legislative items.
