The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) announced its 2024 officers and directors elected to the AEM Board of Directors and Agriculture and Construction Equipment Sector Boards during its annual business meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Industry veteran Kris Flitcroft, sales representative, IRONMARKETS, was selected as a director on the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) board of directors for a second year.
“I’m excited to continue working with the AEM Board of Directors in 2024. Working with industry leaders to develop and launch a new strategic plan for the association will be a key goal,” Flitcroft said.
AEM’s officers and directors provide strategic direction and guidance for AEM initiatives that help members and the industry succeed. Key action areas include advocacy and public affairs, market information, exhibitions and events, and safety, regulatory and technical issues.
Flitcroft has more than 25 years of experience in publishing, working with and developing integrated media programs for some of the industry's top names in construction equipment manufacturing.
Flitcroft has been a fervent supporter of AEM. In addition to serving on multiple committees, she has held numerous chairmanships including Marketing Council, Associate Member Group Executive Committee and most recently, the Service Members Executive Committee. Flitcroft also serves on the TRIP Board fundraising committee and is a 2011 inductee into the MIN’s Sales Hall of Fame.
“I’m looking forward to following the AEM Manufacturing Express which hits the road this summer,” Flitcroft said. “The Express partners with AEM member companies to tell their stories and engage industry stakeholders enhancing public perceptions about equipment manufacturing.”
“We extend a warm welcome [to] our 2024 officers and new and returning directors and wish to publicly thank them and their companies for steadfastly supporting the Association and its goals,” said AEM President Megan Tanel.
“AEM’s success and growth hinges on the unwavering dedication of its volunteer leadership and the active involvement of its members. Their commitment and contributions are instrumental in propelling the industry forward. Through their engagement, we strive to deliver excellence and provide the most valuable service and programs for our members.”
