Welcome and thank you for your interest in the West Virginia Manufacturers Association's (WVMA) Eleventh Annual Winter Convention & Annual Meeting. As we reflect on a productive 2026, we hope you find this end-of-year 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. We will touch on topics ranging from economic development and recent business expansions to exploring the future of energy production and costs. You will not want to miss these insightful conversations! We also look forward to announcing the winner of this year's Encova Safety Award.

We hope you continue to find value in your involvement with the WVMA. We are grateful to you, our board leaders, member company representatives, and to our generous sponsors who make this meeting 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.
