What is the most important skill you bring to a corporate board?
I have molded manufacturing policy for over 16 years. I know the assets necessary for a manufacturing corporation to grow and I also have knowledge of federal and state programs that can assist manufacturers to strengthen their capacity. I appreciate supply chain management and the role international development plays in the stability and growth of domestic manufacturing.
In addition, as a trade association employee, I know how to drive consensus between strong individuals while achieving specific goals and objectives.
