WVMEP is now on Linkedin! In an effort to continually find new ways to support manufacturing in West Virginia, the WVMEP has recently created a group on Linkedin, the worlds largest professional social networking website. Our goal for the group is to post information that concerns manufacturing in West Virginia, various partnerships throughout the state that benefit you, the manufacturer, and to begin discussions where you can connect with other manufacturers in the state, as well as the WVMEP, to talk about the issues you face everyday. If you are already a member of Linkedin, access the WVMEP Group. If not, sign up for a free account!
