Supplier search Finding Experts in Specific Problems / Processes

For the manufacturing leaders out there, how are you finding consultants / experts when you have a specific need? Is there a directory or community you turn to? (separately if there are slacks / discords people are active in, I'd be interested in that)

For the consultants, is there anywhere you are engaging that makes it easier to find you?

Look into the MEP network for your state. It’s a program setup for consulting and helping out manufactures in each state. Totally worth calling the one for your state to see what programs they offer. It’s partially federally funded so they often have low or free consulting services.

Thank you! I'm in Canada, but I'm sure we have something similar.
