Ford Town Hall Meeting
Dave Andrea, OESA

OESA will host a members-only town hall meeting with Tony Brown, group vice president, global purchasing, Ford Motor Company, and Ford purchasing staff on Dec. 13, 2011, at the Dearborn Inn, Dearborn, Mich.

More than 300 members attended the 2010 Ford Town Hall.  The company update, question session and opportunities to speak with customer executives provided at these town halls are invaluable for current Ford suppliers, prospective suppliers and suppliers in Ford’s value chain who ultimately are dependent upon Ford’s market success and purchasing practices.

Ford has invited additional purchasing executives to attend the session and be available before and after the town hall.  Registration and networking begins at 2 p.m. with Ford purchasing executives available from that time.  The town hall program runs from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and includes approximately 20 minutes for Brown to deliver prepared remarks followed by a 60-minute question and answer session.
