To provide Tampa Bay's manufacturing community with quality educational and training programs, events with high take-away value, and forums for networking and information exchange. Welcome to our updated website, and a new fiscal year for BAMA. Our new Board is dedicated to continuous improvement, as was last year’s Board, in the services we offer to you, our member Companies. Welcome from the President July 22, 2011 Dear Manufacturers and Associates:   Saturday, when Dave Stailey stepped down for personal reasons, I became the President of our association.  I would like to wish Dave and Jean Stailey good luck with their new business.  Dave and Jean will continue to be BAMA icons and will offer a helpful hand every opportunity they can.   As we look to the short term we have a great package of meetings to roll out. I don't want to take anything away from our program committee, just suffice it to say it will be “a really great show”. In addition, the new BAMA web site will soon be unveiled, and we have plans to roll out membership committees and other new items as well, so stay tuned!   Things in Washington are getting hotter each day with issues such as the debt ceiling, cutting spending, and taxing business owners!  While we at BAMA do not endorse individuals, we do offer informational materials to educate our members and help you take a stance on the issues that are important to you. We recently completed our annual planning meeting, and I must say it was very different than past years.  Discussions ran the gamut, from social media, to after-hours mixers, to what we must do to provide value to our members.  We want to grow BAMA, and while we are on the right track, with your input we can increase growth and provide more education, services and leadership in the area of manufacturing!     Finally, I propose that BAMA become a forum through which members can exchange ideas on the issues that impact those who risk their own money to employ others, and to grow our communities. Free enterprise is one of the things that makes this a great country.    Don’t be shy! Contact me today with your thoughts on how to make your BAMA experience more fulfilling!    Best regards, Steven C. Meitzen, President 813.455.0113  BAMA History Established in 1954, the Bay Area Manufacturers Association (BAMA) was organized to serve the collective needs of the growing Tampa Bay manufacturing community.
