WIRE-Net's Purpose

WIRE-Net's mission was last reviewed in 2001, and just slightly edited at that time. Upon review this year during our Strategic Planning, one telling comment was that "you cannot tell how WIRE-Net does its work from the existing mission statement." After discussion and review, WIRE-Net's Board approved the following Mission and Vision statement for the organization:

WIRE-Net’s Mission

WIRE-Net strengthens manufacturing to create healthy communities and fuel economic growth. We provide expertise that is responsive to manufacturing related businesses and their employees. WIRE-Net connects leaders to each other and engages them in their communities.

We support, we connect, we partner.

WIRE-Net’s Vision

We envision a region where manufacturing matters, a region that values and invests in manufacturing companies. Across our region, manufacturers embrace innovation to compete globally, work together to drive economic health locally, invest in their employees, and work together for stronger communities.
