TDCI is pleased to announce changes to the makeup of the MAC-PAC XE user advisory board, as well as the formation of a new user advisory board for the BuyDesign product.
Also, since there are now two 'user' advisory boards, we will now refer to them as the MAC-PAC XE Advisory Board (MPAB) and the BuyDesign Advisory Board (BDAB).
Both advisory boards will provide executive-level input and act as sounding boards for TDCI on issues related to their respective products and associated services. The original User Advisory Board has been a valuable communication channel among TDCI and TDCI customers, and we expect to continue and improve upon that process with this new focused structure.
MAC-PAC XE Advisory Board
Two changes were made to the MAC-PAC XE Advisory Board at the recent Perspectives conference:
- Debbie Worden, Supply Chain Vice President at LASCO Fittings, Inc. joined the Board as an additional member.
- Mike Neal, Manager of Information Technology at Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co. became the new President. Bill Danuloff, Vice President and CIO at The Gorman-Rupp Company, who was the previous President, will remain on the Board.
The full MAC-PAC XE Advisory Board for 2008 consists of:
- Mike Neal - Link-Belt Construction Equipment Co. (President)
- Erik Conrad - Compac Corporation
- Bill Danuloff - The Gorman-Rupp Company
- Mike Seitz - Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork Co., Inc..
- Jim Susic - Watlow Electric Manufacturing Co.

The 2008 MAC-PAC XE Advisory Board will have its first meeting in November. Among other things, the Board has agreed to play a more active role in planning the 2008 Perspectives Customer Forum agenda.
