MHEDA Executive Director Reflects on Millennium’s First 10 Years

Dewitt, NY ' January 5, 2010: December marks the final month of the first decade of the new millennium. In that spirit, MHEDA Edge, the association's magazine for young material handling professionals, sat down with MHEDA Executive Vice President Liz Richards to discuss the association's last decade and also what the next 10 years might hold.

The article, titled 'Q&A With Liz Richards,' features her opinions on everything from how technology has impacted the association to how young people are currently shaping its future.

Richards also takes time to reflect on her proudest moments from the century's first 10 years. 'After the events of 9/11 took place, the phones at MHEDA's offices began ringing almost instantly,' says Richards. 'Members from all over the country were calling in to see how they could help.' Richards, the MHEDA staff and Board of Directors immediately got to work figuring out what sort of equipment was needed for cleanup and recovery. Thank to these efforts, the association was able to send a significant amount of aid to New York. 'I take a great deal of pride in how our association responded to the tragedy,' says Richards.

The events of 9/11 and the subsequent tragedy of Hurricane Katrina caused the association to become a founding member of the American Logistics Aid Network (ALAN), another of Richards' proudest accomplishments. Alan's goal is to position MHEDA members, as well as other associations, to be able to provide fast relief when disaster strikes.
