California Manufacturing Task Force Urges New Manufacturing and Trade Strategies

At the Northern California Manufacturing Summit held in Sacramento on February 19, 2016, attendees had the opportunity to sign up to be on a Manufacturing Task Force to prepare a report after selecting the most important issues affecting manufacturing during the concluding breakout session.

Over the last month, the task force conferred via conference call and email to create a report that was approved last week. As chair of the California chapter of the Coalition for a Prosperous America, one of the co-hosts of the event, I disseminated the report to all of the summit sponsors, partners and attendees, as well as all of the Congressional representatives, state senators, and assembly members in the Sacramento region. The report will be disseminated to the rest of the California Congressional delegation in the near future.

The final report is shown below.
