For the first time in 12 years and the second in its 84-year history, the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association is gearing up to elect Waleska Rivera, president of Danosa Caribbean, to head the trade group during elections slated for this weekend’s annual convention, Executive Vice President William Riefkohl said Tuesday.
The Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association will be hosting its 84th annual convention under the “We’re all manufacturers” slogan, adopted to reflect “the multiplicity of industry elements,” said trade group President Pedro Watlington.
Following the massive success of last year's "Baby Boomers & Seniors Expo," which drew some 15,000 people to the Puerto Rico Convention Center in two days, event organizers are gearing up to celebrate the second edition, Oct. 1-2.
