This commitment extends to anyone whose responsibilities embrace the planning, design, deployment or operation of equipment and systems that are fundamental to the productive and safe movement, storage, control, and protection of goods through the use of material handling products and practices.

This mission is accomplished through our stakeholders: the members, chapters and our affiliations with related organizations.

Special Awards Announced At Golf Outing
 

Mike Carlson, a long time district manager for Frazier Industrial Rack, was honored as the MHMS Chicagoland Chapter's Man of the Year at this year's golf outing dinner. Mike was the first president of the Chicagoland Chapter of MHMS in the early 1990s. He was feted for his vision in bringing MHMS to this market and his long-standing support of our efforts in providing scholarship funds awarded to students engaged in Plant and Facilities Engineering studies.

Fittingly, given Mike's emphasis on education, members attending the dinner also heard that Austin Buchanan was named the winner of the 2010 MHMS Chicagoland Honor Scholarship.

     
Austin is a President's Honor Roll student studying Industrial Engineering & Management at Oklahoma State University.  
 
He is especially interested in facilities planning and production control and plans to continue his education toward a Masters Degree.
