September 28, 2016 Dear Remanufacturing and Sustainability Leaders: Welcome to the fifth annual Remanufacturing and Sustainability Conference, co-hosted by MERA and the Golisano Institute for Sustainability.

In the fall of 2012, industry leaders first gathered at this event to discuss the link between remanufacturing and an organization’s overall sustainability strategy. Over the years, the conference has grown to become an executive leadership program, complete with thoughtful discussions and tremendous networking opportunities. Today, we are honored to have John Esposito and Mary Petrovich as our keynote speakers. Executive panels throughout the day will also offer ways for you to gain insight and share your ideas. Based on your feedback, we have organized a new panel that will focus on remanufacturing excellence across industries. Similar to previous years, today’s agenda is intended to advance the business interests of member companies, as well as our common goal to raise awareness and acceptance of remanufacturing. Thank you for joining us and contributing to the dialogue that influences the future of our industry. We appreciate your participation, and know that we could not accomplish what we do without your leadership and support. Sincerely,
