I did not fully appreciate the value of my MAPI membership until I moved to a large global public accounting firm and had to give up my membership. The diversity and depth of knowledge of the collective MAPI members exceeded even the expertise of the global public accounting firm. In my move back to industry, one of the first things I did was rejoined MAPI.
Tax Council Member Spotlights
Paul Yong, Sempra Energy
My executive team and I find tremendous value in our MAPI membership. Insights gained from the Council meetings have made our executives more effective leaders, and in turn made Kennametal a more competitive company. Given the unparalleled access to best practices that MAPI offers, I consider membership a key component in executives' individual development plans. Further, the economic forecasting has helped us navigate the increasingly complicated global economy. The return on investment we receive from MAPI is substantial.
Carlos Cardoso, Kennametal
MAPI has been a tremendous resource for our executives. They consistently bring back innovative processes and fresh insights from the Council meetings. MAPI’s research and forecasting are on the leading edge for the industrial sector.
Tim Powers, Hubbell Inc.
I have been a member of MAPI for over 10 years, having participated in several different Councils as well as the Board. As I’ve moved up the corporate ladder, MAPI has been there to support me at every turn, whether it be in finance, strategy, P&L leadership, or ultimately as Chairman, President and CEO. The best practices I’ve learned through MAPI have kept me ahead of the curve and made me a more effective leader. Just as importantly, MAPI has played an integral role in the development of my management team. They regularly bring back insights from MAPI meetings or research that helps us look at issues in fresh, innovative ways. MAPI’s support of member executives, their companies, and the manufacturing sector is world-class.
