MSCI Plans Manufacturing Summits in 11 Cities
The Metals Service Center Institute, Rolling Meadows, Ill., will host 11 manufacturing summits in advance of the 2012 election. The events, “Closing the Divide Between Jobs, Policy and Growth,” will be co-hosted by the area chapters of MSCI, starting Aug. 8 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Milwaukee.
MSCI says the events are an opportunity for national and local manufacturing leaders, policy experts, employees and candidates to discuss the most critical issues facing the manufacturing and metals sectors.
“This is an extremely important election year,” says MSCI President and CEO Robert Weidner, III. “It is crucial that our members, their customers and communities have a chance to learn more about industry concerns and understand where their local candidates stand on those topics. There are real issues facing the manufacturing sector, our members’ lifeblood, which will result in real costs to both employers and employees.”
The Milwaukee meeting will feature a panel discussion moderated by Weidner and including Ariens Co. President and CEO Dan Ariens; Lapham-Hickey Steel Corp. President William M. Hickey; Dalco Metals President William J. Ring; Nucor Executive Vice President Ladd R. Hall; and the former CEO of Bucyrus International, Tim Sullivan.
The panel will discuss the business implications of tax policies and reforms, regulatory policies, health care, energy policies, trade issues and workforce development.
Other summits are scheduled for: Aug. 13, Cincinnati; Aug. 28, Oak Brook, Ill.; Sept. 20, Kansas City; Oct. 1, Cleveland; Oct. 4, Philadelphia; Oct. 8, Charlotte, N.C.; Oct. 11, Pittsburgh; Oct. 15, Atlanta; Oct. 22, Buffalo/Rochester, N.Y.; Oct. 29, City of Industry, Calif.
