EXPO 2001 VISITORS CAN LEARN, DISCUSS, AND RELAX AT OPEI's BOOTH

Alexandria, VA, June 22, 2001-- Visitors can enjoy EXPO 2001 at OPEI's booth: a great place to learn the benefits of OPEI membership; pick up useful safety tips and other industry information; ask industry questions; give input to OPEI staff; see Internet demonstrations and more.

Live at the booth, this year, will be OPEI's new job listings on the Internet. All attendees, especially job seekers, are invited to come in and browse the ads. And, employers with position openings may post them on OPEI's site right there in the booth during EXPO.

Also featured at the booth will be OPEI's highly successful industry image program that aired this spring on PBS stations nationwide. Titled "Spotlight on Yard Care Technology", this video places a very positive light on the industry by focusing on environmentally helpful aspects of the newest technologies. An estimated 3 million PBS program viewers were reached during the spring season.

Bill Harley, OPEI President and CEO, says "Our goal is to raise the OPEI flag at the show and provide an information service for all attendees, members and non-members alike."

Visitors can see all this and much more at booth number 3110 in the South Wing.

OPEI is a trade association whose membership is primarily composed of U.S. manufacturers of powered lawn and garden maintenance products, components and attachment supplies, as well as industry-related services. OPEI's domestic members manufacture in excess of 95% of the U.S. consumer retail market for gas and electric powered lawn and garden maintenance products.
