Benchmarking Council groups meet independently during summer. This year, groups meetings took place across the country, from Oregon to Massachusetts. While some groups meet at member locations, others travel to visit with suppliers and distributors. Group members participate in discussions about human resources, employee retention, safety, and finances. Additionally, they tour facilities and discuss marketing, sales teams, and truck maintenance.
All Benchmarking Council groups will meet October 17 – 18, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Cylinder Exchange Group will meet for a half-day on October 16, 2024. This event will include a lunch speaker and an evening reception.
Thank you to the Council sponsors: Bergquist, Cetane Associates, Gray, Gray and Gray, Matrix Capital, One Tank, Rural Computer Consultants, Twin Feathers, and Tiger Payments for their continued support.
