The NAM and its members are at the forefront of every important policy debate, focusing on solutions to help the industry compete in the global economy and to help the country address manufacturing policy priorities ranging from advancing pro-growth tax policies and restoring regulatory certainty to strengthening energy security and building a workforce of the future.
“It’s an honor to join the NAM Board and collaborate with fellow leaders who are passionate about strengthening American manufacturing,” said Driansky. “I’m excited to contribute to the industry’s continued growth and innovation.”
