Every week seems to bring more uncertainty from Washington, D.C. as manufacturers seek clarity on the trade wars, a solution to worker shortages, and relief from government regulations.
PMPA’s Washington, D.C. lobbyist, Omar S. Nashashibi, will provide a unique insight about the latest on tariffs, trade negotiations, regulations and workforce training. This is your chance to get past the media spin and hear directly from a Washington insider about how these actions impact not only your business but also your customers and supply chains.
