2020-2023 Editorial Advisory Board: Meet New Board Member Marion Wells
The 2020-2023 version of MoldMaking Technology's EAB features a new crew of 12 industry professionals. Here's one of them.
MoldMaking Technology has always had an Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) comprising of people with expertise within their respective business, industry, technology and profession to help guide the direction of the brand’s content. We do this because you are the experts. The response to my call for new members for the 2020-2023 term was overwhelming but provided a stellar pool of candidates, from which I was able to put together a balanced board of moldmaking professionals across North America who represent various ages, genders, job functions, mold types and end markets. This column will introduce a new member each month.
