Volunteer

Like other industry organizations, we depend on our members and supporters to donate their time so that both the organization and the community will survive and thrive.  There are innumerable opportunities for you to connect with your peers, beyond our many networking opportunities. 

Consider:

  • hosting an event or plant tour at your facility
  • becoming a sponsor for an event
  • mentoring a student, providing a shadowing opportunity, or supporting an intern
  • joining us as we make our agenda known in Columbus and Washington
  • serving on a WIRE-Net committee or task force
  • becoming active in state or national manufacturing associations
  • making calls to collect information or welcome new members
Have fun, meet new vendors and customers, and support our common causes at the same time


  Mission Reminder By donating your time to WIRE-Net, you not only support us and the surrounding neighborhoods, but you inform us.  As we work side-by-side, we can’t help but get to know you better, come to understand your concerns, and begin to address your needs.  WIRE-Net is here to connect leaders to each other and engage them in their communities

WIRE-Net encourages active participation in networking, marketing, and community volunteer opportunities which strengthen relationships among manufacturing and community partners, and helps develop new business, new markets, new talent, and a new image for manufacturing.

  • Sponsor events and programs
  • Advocate for legislative policy and/or media
