DESCRIPTION:CEG & Reshoring Institute: What the Pandemic Taught Us: Building a Resilient Manufacturing Business | Dec 14 12:30-1:30 PM \nThe pandemic strained industries around the nation and at the core of these supply chains were disruptions from both domestic and offshore manufacturers.

So we ask\, how can we do better? \nThe Center for Economic Growth\, in partnership with the The Reshoring Institute conducted in-depth research to better understand the challenges\, best practices and opportunities that we were presented in the last 18 months. This included doing in person interviews with manufacturing companies\, government leaders\, associations\, and regional economic development leaders as well as gathering intelligence from different publications around the state and the nation.      \nPlease join us on December 14th as we host with the Reshoring Institute on a summary of the research\, findings\, and recommendations.  \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\nZoom link will be provided in your registration confirmation email. \n\n
