ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS Bob Weidner Bob Weidner is President and CEO of the Metals Service Center Institute, a $10 million, century-old trade association representing producers and distributors of aluminum, carbon and stainless steel. Since joining the association in 2001, he has fiercely advocated for North American manufacturing and the use of industrial metals. Under his leadership, MSCI successfully completed a turnaround strategy, grew its revenue from $4 million to $10 million, and transformed its membership – nearly 60% of members at year-end, 2015, weren’t members at year-end, 2001. MSCI is an active member of several Coalitions advocating on behalf of manufacturing and free enterprise. Working with its 30 chapters, MSCI engages in grass roots advocacy and has a joint scholarship program, which has granted nearly $5 million to nearly 2,500 children of member company families Prior to joining MSCI, Weidner was a seasoned business executive with corporate turnaround experience in manufacturing, metals and food distribution. Mr. Weidner holds an M.B.A. in finance and accounting from University of Notre Dame and a B.A. in Political Science from Northwestern University. Bob has successfully completed the Professional Accounting Program at Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Weidner is a graduate of the Culver Military Academy and a past Director of the Culver Legion Board of Directors. Dennis DesRosiers Since the founding of his independent consulting practice in 1985, Dennis DesRosiers has become Canada’s leading auto- motive industry analyst and one of the foremost theorists in the North American automotive industry. Over the years, he has developed a multi-task, multi-functional and in-depth approach towards automotive industry analysis, which has resulted in his theories gaining considerable prominence throughout the North American industry. Dennis has been described as an analyst who “peels away the mysteries” of the automotive industry. He has accomplished this by developing unique and original analytical models and also by not being afraid to make interpretive statements and draw conclusions, which, in some cases, run contrary to “accepted wisdom” in the industry. Dennis’ election in September 2000 to the Board of Governors of The University of Windsor enables Dennis to focus his developmental efforts and practical skills in an important knowledge and learning environment.
