�Doing More with Less� is the theme of three Western Associations of Fastener Distributors spring meetings. Fastener industry veteran Scott Petterson will lead an interactive session on �specific ways to hunker down and ride out the tough times while preparing for a bright and more profitable future.�
The one-day regional conferences are scheduled for March 8, 2002, at the Doubletree Hotel/Lloyd Center, Portland, OR; March 22 at the Marriott Hotel, Long Beach, CA; and April 19 at the Sheraton/San Jose.
The programs also include a luncheon, the business executives and owners forums, and half-hour one-on-one sessions with distributors and suppliers.
