Hello <<First Name>>, we hope 2018 has started well for you and your business. At WECA we have been planning for the year ahead in line with the strategy developed last year.
A key focus of this work is promoting Waikato as New Zealand's Hub of Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence, which is in line with objectives of the Waikato economic development strategy. In this vein, we have teamed up with the communications specialists behind The Waikato Story, who are keen to support us in sharing some of the exciting stories from our sector with the world.
So... tell us your stories!! Innovative product? Waikato engineering personality? Success story? Email sally@weca.org.nz now and be part of The Waikato Story!
The Waikato Story showcases our region as a place of powerful possibilities, local innovators and inspiring champions. The Waikato Story website includes an inspiring film about our region and a practical set of digital resources to help businesses tell their own unique stories in a consistent way to rest of the world. Watch the film.
We've caught up with a few of you already this year and, by all accounts, it appears to be busy out there. If you're anything like us, you'll be all hands to the pump as February draws to a close.
Hope to see you at our first WECA event for 2018 at The Electrical Training Company on Thursday March 22, from 4.30pm. Read more below and RSVP now!
Mary, Sally and Levinia

WECA businesses, this is a great opportunity to engage with and support secondary school students as they gain hands-on experience with multi-disciplinary and innovative engineering practices.
WECA manages EVolocity for the region, with students designing and building their own electric cart or bike, equipped with an electric motor kit. They race in Regional Finals later in the year, with the best going on to compete against teams from throughout New Zealand.
Email levinia@weca.org.nz if you're keen to mentor a team this year, or come along to the launch to see what it's all about.
