Eaton Distributor Meeting is Almost Here!

At Eaton, we are very excited about the rapidly approaching 2007 Eaton Distributor Meeting and everything we have been preparing to show you, our global network of distributors. We think you will agree that what you will learn at this year’s EDM will help you not only sell more Eaton products in the coming months but it will energize your team to work with Eaton in many new and innovative ways.

This year’s meeting, with the theme Many Players, One Team, will focus on applying our products, both individually and as part of larger systems, more than ever before. People at every level of your organization will have ample opportunities to learn about applying new products as well as new ways to apply existing products in both stationary and mobile platforms.

Each of our three major product groups, Power, Controls and Fluid Conveyance will have their key engineering, product management and senior management team members on hand to make sure you get the full benefit of their expertise.

I’d like to personally invite all Distributor Principals to join me for dinner on Wednesday evening, October 3, where we are pleased to present legendary Pittsburgh Steelers running back, Rocky Bleier, as this year's keynote dinner speaker.  Please confirm your attendance and that of one other senior manager from your organization by registering @ http://www.zoomerang.com/survey.zgi?p=WEB226VRUNTT9R. 
Dress code for this dinner is coat & tie.
 
Lastly, since we will spend the week talking about Many Players, One Team, don’t forget to register for the Eaton pay-to-play golf outing on Thursday, October 4, where you can join us on the golf course and be part of the $10,000 prize giveaway.
 
We look forward to seeing you at the Eaton Distributor Meeting in Orlando. If you have not already done so, be sure to register for the meeting, secure your hotel accommodations and sign up for the golf tournament @ http://hydraulics.eaton.com/distributormeeting/.
