This week, NASF members and non-members alike gathered in our nation's capital for our annual Washington Forum. Over three days, we discussed policy and regulations, labor and workplace trends in the surface finishing industry, and election outlooks, and we took to Capitol Hill for meetings with congressional representatives. Thank you to all who joined us, and we'll see you next year back in DC for our 2025 Washington Forum! #SurfaceFinishing #SurfaceTreatment

This week I had the opportunity to attend the NASF Washington Forum. The Forum brings together leaders in the industry to engage with the departments in our government that make decisions or influence technology, critical minerals and regulation relating to Surface Finishing. The highlight of the day for me was hearing Charlie Cook speak about the upcoming election. Regardless of your political leaning, Charlie’s insight and non partisan approach was incredible to witness. Thank you Sheffield Platers for supporting this engagement in our industry. #NASF, #NASFFOUNDATION, #SHEFFIELDPLATERS
