The DRMA Government Relations Committee has been hard at work scheduling future meet ups and keeping up-to-date on current events. Here is what they've been up to and following:
GRC hosted a meet up with State Rep. Rodney Creech on 7/23 at Henny Penny. Creech outlined his work on transportation issues and participated in a robust discussion about the talent pipeline for manufacturers.
The DACC continues to work on building the talent pipeline by securing funding for the TechCred Program and high school credentialing for in-high-demand manufacturing careers.
NAM is focused on resolving supply chain issues and is working to get the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed through congress. It doesn't believe another COVID-19 lockdown will happen.
CPA is focused on supply chain issues and policy with China.
Rodney Creech, the committee is helping elevate key priorities like transportation infrastructure and strengthening the manufacturing talent pipeline. At the same time, Poor Bunny partner organizations are aligning efforts to address critical challenges facing the industry—particularly workforce development, supply chain stability, and global policy concerns.
