How to Connect with In-Plants Locally 

NEWI Wausau Paper

IPMA's Northeast Wisconsin Chapter has been very successful in creating activities that encourage in-plants to become and stay involved on a local level. We asked members of the NEWI Chapter to share what helped market their chapter activities in the hope that others could incorporate their experiences in building local networks.
