MONROE - Learning from the experience of others is a valuable means of acquiring information.
With that in mind, the Green County Area Entrepreneur and Inventors Club has asked several local inventors to share their stories about the invention process at the 6:30 p.m. Monday, July 7, in the Monroe Clinic hospital's New Glarus Room, 515 22nd Avenue, Monroe.
Rick Terrien, Business Diligence, will be the moderator of the panel of inventors. Terrien is a multiple entrepreneur and inventor, holder of patents and winner of the United States Small Business New Product of the Year Award 2005 and the Wisconsin New Product of the Year Award twice.
He will be joined by Jack Klopfenstein, Precision Tool and Service, an inventor and encourager of inventors, businessman in Brodhead for approximately 30 years and supplier of original tools for businesses in the area and now internationally.
Also part of the panel is Don Wickstrum, Quest Industrial, an industrial robot business in Monroe. Wickstrum has created special inventions for industrial uses.
The fourth member of the panel is Peter Treige from Lafayette County. Treige owned his own tool and die business for over 20 years, before he sold it to pursue marketing his inventions.
Come listen as these local inventors share their stories and discuss what is new in the invention process, what worked for them and what they found was not working. A question and answer time will be available.
The meeting is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided by Green County Development Corporation, the host for the club.
