Greetings RRMEA members! 
 
Welcome to Fall! 
 

Mark your calenders and register to join us at Körber Pharma in Fargo on September 26 for lunch and a tour to learn more about their handling and packaging of syringes, vials, autoinjectors, and more! Bring a prospective member with you, too!

The first annual RRMEA Golf Social took place on August 21 at Suite Shots in Fargo. This event raised $1,800 to benefit youth manufacturing programs in our area. Read more here.
 
RRMEA currently has 56 members! Our membership goal for 2023 was 50 members and now we’re striving for 75+! Help us reach this goal by recruiting a new member. New members are invited to register and attend the New Member Orientation on November 21 at 2:00 pm on Zoom. 
 
October has been designated as Manufacturing Month in Minnesota. We are proud of all our manufacturers in the FM area and what they provide to our lives, the economy, and our workforce. Join me in acknowledging all manufacturers for a job well done during the month of October.
 
RRMEA will be looking to fill a few Board of Director positions starting in January 2024. We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated leaders and emerging leaders to fill these positions. Please email me if you are interested or nominate someone who you think would be excellent by November 15.
 
RRMEA members - please help us to create success in this valuable organization by getting involved and participating in our events.  
 
Midwest Manufacturers Association, our association management company, is excited to announce the launch of Midwest Manufacturing Journal, a regional magazine that will be printed quarterly. The first issue will be published in January and will include the annual membership directory, which includes membership information on all members of AMFA, CMMA, RRMEA, and TSMA.  
  
We’ll see you all on September 26 at Körber Pharma. 
 
Regards, 
Rick Lemke
RRMEA President
