On May 1, 2024, manufacturing leaders gathered at the Wisconsin State Capitol for a crucial presentation by Omar S. Nashashibi, PMA’s esteemed lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Attendees gained invaluable insights into the impact of federal policies on Wisconsin’s manufacturing landscape, covering topics from R&D tax reform to regulatory updates.
Omar provided an insider’s perspective on efforts in Congress to address R&D tax issues and impending tax increases post-2025. Additionally, attendees learned about the Biden administration’s approach to steel and aluminum tariffs and potential regulatory changes, including OSHA’s indoor heat rule and apprenticeship program updates.
The presentation also offered a glimpse into how upcoming election outcomes could shape manufacturing policies nationwide. Attendees enjoyed networking opportunities and the chance to win prizes, including a free round of golf at the Wisconsin District Golf Outing. This event underscored the importance of staying informed and engaged in navigating policy changes affecting the manufacturing sector.
