Washington, D.C. – The National Association of Manufacturers announced new 2025 leadership for its Council of Manufacturing Associations at the CMA 2025 Winter Leadership Conference. Alison Bodor, president and CEO of the American Frozen Food Institute, will serve as chair, and Corey Rosenbusch, president and CEO of The Fertilizer Institute, will serve as vice chair.

“The CMA’s work demonstrates how manufacturing associations are stronger together. I am proud to have the opportunity to serve as chair, and I look forward to working with my peer association CEOs and our respective organizations from across the nation to advance a competitiveness agenda that strengthens America’s manufacturing community,” said Bodor.

Made up of more than 200 industry-specific manufacturing associations representing 130,000 companies worldwide, the CMA creates powerful partnerships across the industry, working with the NAM to unite the manufacturing association community, and ultimately the broader business community, around strategies for increased manufacturing job creation, investment and innovation in America.

“Alison and Corey have been essential to the CMA’s mission of creating a united association community and amplifying the voices of manufacturers across the country,” said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons. “After years of pushing back against a federal regulatory onslaught, their leadership will be vital as we work with a new Congress and administration to enact pro-growth tax and regulatory reforms that will allow manufacturers in America to thrive.”

Prior to leading the American Frozen Food Institute, Bodor served as executive vice president of the National Confectioners Association. She previously served as CMA vice chair.

Newly appointed 2025 CMA board members include the following:

• Bill Allmond, president, Adhesive and Sealant Council
• Ned Monroe, president and CEO, Vinyl Institute
• Debra Phillips, president and CEO, National Electrical Manufacturers Association
• Cindy Squires, president and CEO, American Composite Manufacturers Association
