On July 12, 2022, MSE Detroit will welcome Tavi Fulkerson, Founder of The Fulkerson Group, for an informational webinar on what to expect at the 2022 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). 

The NAIAS (aka Detroit Auto Show) is one of the most influential annual automotive events in the world and a showcase for emerging technologies. September of 2022 ushers in the next-generation auto show in Detroit featuring a totally transformed indoor and outdoor experience, including brand-defining vehicles, product ride-and-drives and dynamic experiential activations. The reimagined event includes: AutoMobili-D, an inside look at future mobility platforms; Media Day, an opportunity for automakers and industry suppliers to debut new products and technologies; Industry Tech Days, a chance to preview emerging mobility technologies and engage with innovators; Charity Preview, a signature fundraising gala for children’s charities; and the Public Show, a nine-day mobility and community celebration with activations and entertainment citywide.

A Message from the President


"Awesome!
Thank you, Frank!"
June 23rd was an Awesome Fireside Chat with Frank Venegas

Congrats to the large crowd that we had at last month’s Fireside Chat with Frank Venegas, founder of the Ideal Group. They listened to one of the best Detroit human-interest and career stories. The evening was very enjoyable and enlightening into the mind of a great Detroit entrepreneur. Frank Venegas was so inspiring…He has made a huge mark in the manufacturing and contracting world that has changed the lives of so many. We did record the evening and may add it to our video library later. In the meantime, if you would like to hear a bit about his life, please take a few moments to listen to this interview from 2017 by Detroit Public Television. This clip is only about 5 minutes…imagine what you would have heard from this great man in an hour at the Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit event.

One striking comment and advise from Frank was:

“Do the job your boss hates to do and you will get his job every time.”

Our program was moderated and sponsored by Chad Toms, Reliance One. Chad learned about Frank Venegas a number of years ago through one of Frank’s former employees who had the highest respect for Frank. Ever since then, Chad was anxious to meet this incredible entrepreneur and employer. Chad had the opportunity to record a chat with Frank’s two children Jesse and Linzie. Our gratitude goes out to Chad for making this event possible and moderating a fascinating chat with Frank. Chad is the type of guy that is active in the community and enjoys connecting fellow sales and marketing people. Chad announced recently that he has been named Chairman of the Wear Pink for Cancer Campaign; more details will be sent out soon. Thank you again Chad for being a leader on our MSE Detroit Board.

Enjoy celebrating the Red, White and Blue this month

For you trivia buffs out there:

Did you know? John Adams believed that July 2nd was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence, and would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest. Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826—the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

The History Channel did an interesting program on the history of the holiday.

Thank you to all who have made this Independence Day possible.
