ISA PRESIDENT AND CEO LORI ANDERSON ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF NAM COUNCIL OF MANUFACTURING ASSOCIATIONS ALEXANDRIA, VA
The International Sign Association is pleased to announce the election of President and CEO Lori Anderson as Chairman of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Council of Manufacturing Associations for 2010. The NAM Council of Manufacturing Associations is comprised of more than 225 trade association members and is the vehicle for manufacturing associations to work together and to become involved in the NAM. Its mission is to provide manufacturing associations with knowledge, resources and networks to help their members create a stronger and more prosperous U.S. manufacturing sector and a higher standard of living in America. “I have already gained so much from my participation with this organization and value the relationships with my NAM colleagues tremendously, said Anderson. “I am honored to assume the position of Chairman for 2010 and look forward to a productive year.” Council member associations work with NAM on expanding its information on issues affecting the manufacturing economy to a large base of manufacturers and allied partners and creating a greater opportunity for grass roots efforts. In addition, members of the NAM Council work with each other in peer-to-peer exchanges that strengthen their own organizations and help them to grow and prosper through educational forums and meetings. “Lori’s experience with manufacturing associations will be an asset to both the Council and the NAM as a whole. We look forward to having her as part of our leadership team,” said John Engler, President of the National Association of Manufacturers. Anderson’s term as Chairman commenced January 1, 2010 and will continue through the end of the year. About ISA The International Sign Association (ISA) is a 2,600-member trade association.
