Each year, The AED Foundation constructs pathways to opportunity for the equipment distribution industry with one goal in mind: to grow and develop support for our members. Last year, The AED Foundation was able to improve the availability of future industry employees by expanding its network of accredited diesel-equipment technology college programs and recognized high school programs, promoting the importance of investment in career and technical education programs, and working to increase awareness and interest among school-age students.
Proceeds from this event help support The AED Foundation to enhance the success of the heavy equipment industry by offering long-term career pathways and continuing education for employees and improving the quantity and quality of future employees for the equipment distribution industry.
The AED Foundation is a 501(c)(3) educational foundation. Attendees should check with their tax professionals for additional information regarding the tax deductibility of their ticket purchase.
