The minority manufacturing community must take part and engage in the opportunity to retool America and rebuild our manufacturing industry. I am particularly concerned about rebuilding in urban and rural America. In October we had numerous opportunities to engage in conversations at several events which are highlighted. We spent time reviewing the progress of many of our clients in one-on-one listening sessions. We heard first-hand the challenges and the opportunities we are experiencing. I am both encouraged and concerned. Encouraged about the opportunities to engage clients in growing industries like EV Charging Stations and other climate change technologies, the expansion of our food processing companies and the significant federal, state and local government opportunities arising from investments in infrastructure. I am concerned about our firms capacities to include business development, production and supply chain management.

Through our center and the MiHUB Cooperative (our affiliate organization) we are working to fill the gaps between challenges and opportunities. I encourage you to take advantage of our programs like MiHUB Monday, the CEO Advisory Roundtable and our relationships with our partner organizations like RMI of Maryland, the Maryland MEP, the Virginia Manufacturers Association, and others.

In November we recognize Native American Heritage Month, recognizing the heritage, culture, experience, and achievement of Indigenous People. We also pause on November 11th to recognize American veterans.

Last but not least, join us on November 17 as we celebrate success stories in Manufacturing with RMI. The Center, MiHUB, and a number of our clients, cited below, will be recognized for their individual and collective successes. Congratulations to all of the honorees.
