Shaping the future together

INDUSTRY NETWORKING: People Who Changed My Life Who have you met that changed your life, your career, even your very being? I met my list at AAPN events. For example:   I may have met Keith Dartley of Swisstex Direct, LLC. in 2014, not sure. As it states on their website, they supply "a one-stop solution with onsite dyeing, finishing and knitting.” Their operations are in Los Angeles and El Salvador.   Keith is a strong, committed and active supporter of the AAPN. He promoted and was highly interactive in our 2018 Los Angeles Regional Conference and our pro:Americas Summit in Honduras.   In 2019, pre-COVID, Keith was on a panel at our Annual Conference and was part of a highly interactive Regional Conference we hosted in Mexico City.    This past year, 2023, as we gained speed post-COVID, Keith was at both our Annual Conference in Miami and our delegation touring Honduras.    Keith is simply a really nice guy. He takes the long view on both his personal life and business. He’s also tough having been a working cowboy for two years and the survivor of a nearly fatal high-speed skiing collision. As we transition to new leadership under the direction of Lynsey Jones, Keith has committed to serve on her advisory committee.   THE CHANGE? You don't run into many “customers” or, in our case members, who are just unquestioning. Keith gets it, loves it and gives himself to making the network better. His strength is public and reassuring. He is the prototypical executives who cares about others and works to make us feel great about our work. #ProAmericas #AmericasTextiles #WesternHemisphere #Fibers #Yarns #Fabrics #SewnProducts #Apparel #Fashion #Knitting #Weaving #Sustainability #ApparelIQ #SupplyChain #Reshoring #Nearshoring #WesternHemisphere #CAFTADR #USMCA

INDUSTRY NETWORKING: People Who Changed My Life - Carlos Arias   Who have you met that changed your life, your career, even your very being? I met my list at AAPN events. For example:   I met Carlos Arias in early 2001, in Guatemala City. He was the first industry executive I met in Central America. As I extended my right hand to shake his, I handed him an article on China and apparel. He was handing me the SAME article!   In 2003, I asked Carlos if I could attend his Koramsa meeting of suppliers, 85 companies, 250 people. At lunch he wished me good luck. For what I replied? You’re the opening speaker. This was no notice. He knew I could do it, which was typical Carlos.    He opened that meeting with the amazing quote, "It is so wonderful to be a room full of world-class suppliers. Unfortunately, there is not a world-class supply chain in the room." He was upset that some suppliers were calling directly on his customers, causing supply chain issues.    His analogy of why the region was so fragmented industrially was summed up when he said, "The companies of the region are like crabs in a bucket, when one tries to escape, the others pull him back in." In 2010, Carlos became the first person we ever asked to be president of AAPN who wasn’t on our Board. He agreed to do it only if he could be very active. He has remained a core member of our leadership since 2010, 14 years.    Carlos has never missed a meeting. He has always done everything we asked of him. He brought us into countless meetings in Guatemala. He remains positive about, believes in and gives his time to the industry.   THE CHANGE? Tom Peters said your true core network will rarely number more than a dozen people. Carlos remains one of those core people, the most interesting man in the world, who always says the right thing. Who wouldn’t want to be HIM for a day!! #ProAmericas #AmericasTextiles #WesternHemisphere #Fibers #Yarns #Fabrics #SewnProducts #Apparel #Fashion #Knitting #Weaving #Sustainability #ApparelIQ #SupplyChain #Reshoring #Nearshoring #WesternHemisphere #CAFTADR #USMCA
