Article from MHI Solutions Magazine
The people who work at MHI and its WERC division are the gears that keep the association moving. They ensure MHI continues to be a valuable association and resource for people involved in the industry and do so with wit, competence and a smile on their face. The goal of this column in MHI Solutions magazine is to give readers a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes at MHI and “meet” the people who make it a successful hub for everyone involved in the material handling industry.
For this issue, Linda Lasure and Gray Murray give us a peek into what they do, how they do it, what drives them and what makes them happy after a long, productive day at work.
Linda Lasure
Industry Group Coordinator
Why were you attracted to MHI and to this industry as a career choice?
I came into the industry by accident—I moved to Charlotte from Cincinnati and lost my job shortly after. I went to work for a member company, was introduced to automated material handling and found it fascinating.
What do you think are the best skills you bring to your position at MHI?
My entire career has been in the services industry in one form or another. I love helping people and really enjoy helping them make connections. I am uniquely gifted at talking to strangers and am very good at helping people feel at ease. I am also very curious and want to know what makes people “tick.”
