The first of the NFPA 2017 Regional Meetings will be held Tuesday, April 11, in Minneapolis. The fluid power association will again partner with Hennepin Technical College, which has one of the premier A.A.S. fluid power programs in the country.

As I’ve written before, these meetings are well worth attending and are a great opportunity to network with a cross-section of the fluid power community.

The Minneapolis Regional meeting will take place at the Brooklyn Park Campus and run from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm. Instructor Jeannine Uehling and her students will provide an inside look at how they are creating the next generation of fluid power professionals. Plus, the lunch will be prepared by the top students of Hennepin’s Culinary Arts Department.

NFPA Regional Meetings are free networking/educational events designed to bring together NFPA members and non-members alike. This meeting is scheduled for a few hours over lunch so you don’t need to block your entire day. If you were planning on some customer visits in the Minneapolis area, we encourage you to fly-in and attend the Regional Meeting.
