Outdoor Power Equipment Institute will commemorate its 60th anniversary at this year’s annual meeting to be held June 20-22 in Colorado Springs, Colo. Changes to the OPEI Annual Meeting agenda reflect the Association’s increasing commitment to broader member participation and engagement. OPEI added an associate member recognition to its board of directors. “Adding an Associate Member to the OPEI Board recognizes their importance within our organization,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of OPEI. “Associate members play an instrumental role in our success, and we want their engagement at this leadership level.” After 60 years, OPEI has evolved to be the international voice for the industry, and represents the outdoor power equipment, small engine, generator and utility vehicles industries.
