AEM hosted a special regional membership event at its Milwaukee, Wisconsin office, featuring insights on the economic outlook of the agriculture and construction industries, ways in which members can maximize the benefits of their AEM membership, a review of the potential impact of the recent U.S. election on their business operations.

To kick off the event, AEM’s Vice President of Federal Affairs Kate Fox Wood gave attendees a recap of the recent U.S. election, and an overview of the potential impact of the political climate on business operations. AEM’s Senior Director of Business Intelligence Al Melhim then gave a review of the current state of the agriculture and construction industries that the association serves – including insights on how the business climate in 2024 may impact equipment sales in 2025.

AEM Account Success Advisor Jessica Peterson reviewed AEM membership offerings that some may be unaware of – and the benefits they can bring to their business operations. From advocacy to education and events, there are so many offerings to get involved in. To round out the agenda, members participated in an open forum to share the business challenges on their minds, and discussed areas where AEM may be uniquely positioned to help.

“We have a multitude of member benefits that some may not even be aware of, ranging anywhere from industry insights and experts to unique benefits that can positively impact businesses bottom-lines,” said Peterson. “We want to thank everyone that attended this event, and for engaging with the association to learn more about the variety of offerings that we can provide.”

  • Building a positive perception of our industry
