11. Thoughts of a manufacturer
In a time like this when most business owners are
focusing closely on ensuring our day‐to‐day
survival, we truly need MNCEME to take the long
view. Successful implementation of the Centers
recommendations will help ensure that, when the
economy turns around, we will have the pool of
skilled workers our region needs for continued
growth.
