Welcome and thank you for attending the West Virginia Manufacturers Association’s (WVMA) Tenth Annual Winter Convention & Annual Meeting. As we close the chapter on a successful year, we hope you find this event of benefit to you and your company, and a great opportunity to make new contacts and reconnect with your colleagues in other sectors of manufacturing.

Our Winter Convention agenda explores issues that are of importance to manufacturing leaders. From economic development and recent business expansion to exploring the future of energy production and costs, you will not want to miss these insightful conversations. We also look forward to announcing this year’s winner of the 2025 Encova Safety Award. 

At breakfast on the second day of our event, we will discuss the WVMA’s successes this year, introduce our new and returning WVMA Board Members, and provide insight into our upcoming activities in 2026.

We hope you continue to find value in your involvement with the WVMA. We are grateful to you, our board leaders, members, and to our generous sponsors who make this and all of our events possible. Your continued support is essential as we work to grow manufacturing throughout the Mountain State. Thank you for the many ways that you contribute to the success of the WVMA.
