Healthcare, Technology and Manufacturing Resource Networks

§         The sharing of insights on their industry’s evolving environment;

§         Increased individual business and industry benefits from service providers who understand and specialize in serving the industry’s unique needs; and

§         The identification and sharing of opportunities with professionals who are in positions to positively impact the industry.

 

 

The (Healthcare/Technology/Manufacturing) Resource Network is comprised of top industry professionals from Minnesota who meet regularly to discuss issues of concern to the industry. Each Industry Resource Group, which are sponsored by Mid American Financial Group, has three components:

 

1.      Board of Advisors. The members of this Board serve as a sounding board for the Industry Resource Network, providing input and direction.

 

2.      A Consortium of Industry Resources. The consortium consists of professionals who work in the industry and have special knowledge and regarding topics of special interest. These experts will be available to speak, co-sponsor and otherwise address primary areas of interest to the industry, e.g., attorneys to speak to patent or other areas specific to each industry, CPAs who specialize in the business and personal planning needs of those in the industry.

 

The Consortium will grow as the Network does.

 

3.      A Team of Professionals from Mid American Financial Group. This team is comprised of agency professionals who are working to focus their practice in the healthcare, manufacturing or technology industries. They will serve as the organizers of the Resource Network and will work to enhance its presence and effectiveness in the industry.

Board of Advisors members will be asked to attend and annual Board meeting, provide us with input and suggestions, and help Mid American Financial Group identify key industry issues that could be covered at meetings with a special speaker, that could be topics for an industry-wide seminar or that might be useful for an article in their planned Industry Resource Network newsletter.

 

Mid American Financial Group is committed to make the Board valuable through networking, exposure and information sharing. This will in turn enhance continued growth and prosperity within the healthcare, technology, and manufacturing industries.

 

1.      Networking. As a Board member, you will build relationships and serve with some of the area’s leading professionals in your industry.

 

2.      Business-Building. By sharing information with one another, we hope to uncover solutions to the challenges you face everyday in running your business.

 

3.      Efficiency. By meeting and networking with professionals who understand the industry, you will save time and money by establishing contacts with the professionals who can help you operate your business better.

 

4.      Enhancement of the Industry. The Resource Network is dedicated to creating a more profitable and effective industry. Your participation will help improve the overall operating environment of your industry, which will help your business prosper in the long run.

 

5.      Event Participation and Exposure. As a Board member, you receive special consideration for attendance at and participation in upcoming seminars we have planned as well as exposure in all Industry Resource Network publications and promotional activities.

   

 

Although these boards are still in the process of being formed, this concept is not new to Rich Marooney, managing parter of Mid American Financial Group. At his previous New England Financial Firm, their focus was the food, construction and manufacturing industries. They have been running these resource networks for over 15 years and have had great success from it.   Not only has it helped them build their referability in the industry, but it has brought added value to their board members by providing resources to help them solve industry issues and allow them to network and share best practices with each other. During those years their firm has held countless board meetings, seminars and client and industry events. The Resource Network Boards are not solely comprised of clients; some may be referrals from people already on the board or existing non-client relationships. If you would like to hear more about Mid American Financial Group’s HealthCare, Technology or Manufacturing Resource Networks or would like to discuss becoming a potential board member please contact Erica Schuenemann at 952-258-5112, eschuenemann@minneapolis.nef.com, or visit their website www.mn.neffirm.com.
