Programs to help manufacturers navigate economic trends and find new opportunities 2. Workforce development focused on skilled trades that offer higher wages without requiring four-year degrees 3. Specialized financing options for industrial supply chain businesses Thank you to the authors Xavier de Souza Briggs and Spencer Lau for recognizing our organization's efforts.

When two teams accidentally double-booked our classroom for strategy sessions, Taylor Evans and the Rust Belt Recruiting team swooped in with a perfect solution! They graciously offered up their conference room at a moment's notice, and Taylor even surprised us with gifts! This is what supporting membership looks like… partners who step up when we need them most. Thanks for helping us strengthen manufacturing in Northeast Ohio, Taylor!

Exciting times, indeed!
