Dear Brooks,

Congratulations Brooks! Monk Engineering, Inc. is about to enter Year 41 of MANA membership.

MANA representative members tell me that prospective principals look at representatives’ years as a MANA member as one way to quickly rank lists of representative firms they’ll interview to represent their companies. Manufacturers know that the best representatives make a commitment to continuous improvement and use MANA’s member-only educational resources and Agency Sales magazine to make their agencies better every year. And the longer an agency has been a MANA member, the more time they’ve had to capitalize on those resources.

But MANA representative members often tell me that getting new lines is not the most important reason they belong to MANA. Our representative members are proud of what they’ve accomplished, and they express their pride in their agency through membership in the world’s most prestigious representative association. MANA representative members are an elite, highly professional group that gives back to the representative profession through membership in the association that is dedicated to advancing the professionalism and utilization of independent manufacturers’ representatives.

Again, please accept my congratulations that Monk Engineering, Inc. is about to enter Year 41 of MANA membership. Giving back to your industry through your support of MANA is commendable, Brooks. I hope that you will never hesitate to let me know if there is any way MANA can support you or Monk Engineering, Inc.. My email is [email protected] and my cell phone is (847) 404-2550.

Thank you for your support!
