On May 14, over a hundred leaders from the Philadelphia manufacturing community gathered at Manufacturers\u2019 Country Club for the 23rd Annual Manufacturing Executives Conference to address the state and future of manufacturing.<\/p>\n
The event, hosted by DVIRC, featured Neen James, an international leadership expert and author of Attention Pays\u2122, who addressed ways to generate people\u2019s attention to drive profitability, productivity, and accountability. Scott Clemens, Chief Investment Strategist at Brown Brothers & Harriman, returned by popular demand to discuss the economic conditions related to manufacturing trends. To address the pervasive labor issue facing manufacturers, DVIRC added a panel discussion moderated by Alex Archawski, founder of the Greater Philadelphia Veterans Network, which addressed the importance of hiring Veterans, National Guardsmen, and Reservists for manufacturing jobs.<\/p>\n
