RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. – Modern Industry eXpertise (MiX), MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers’ council dedicated to empowering the next generation of aftermarket leaders, announced its sponsorship of a Northwood University student to participate in the upcoming Vision Conference on April 10 at The Henry, Autograph Collection in Dearborn, Mich.

As part of the council’s commitment to supporting emerging talent, MiX members have come together to contribute to the sponsorship of a Northwood University student, providing them with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a full day of learning, networking, and exposure to industry-leading insights. This opportunity allows the Northwood student to actively contribute to the success of the conference by undertaking on-site responsibilities. This hands-on experience not only offers the student a chance to be an integral part of the conference logistics but also enables them to build valuable connections within the industry.
