Collaborators & Partners
We owe our strength and success to people and organizations who share our passion for manufacturing and who believe in our mission.
Members, especially, are close to us. They have chosen to engage with WIRE-Net in a specific way, and for that, they are constantly “top of mind” by our Board and Staff. We listen to them, we connect them to opportunity, and we help them surmount obstacles. They, in turn, constantly give back, whenever we ask.
We are also fortunate to have mutually-beneficial relationships with all manner of other supporters, including:
- community-based organizations
- trade associations
- chambers of commerce
- nonprofits
- educational institutions, both secondary schools and higher education
- program supporters

Mission Reminder It is through a rich array of collaborations and partnerships that we can hope to make WIRE-Net’s vision of a “region where manufacturing matters” a reality. Engaging others, and building on the synergy this creates, makes us capable of doing more with less. WIRE-Net is here to engage, inform and respond.
