Why Manufacturing Matters — Now and in the Future

Local manufacturing plays a critical role in the COVID-19 response and recovery. However, for local manufacturing to succeed we must invest in the infrastructure — physical, social, and financial — needed to support its ongoing transition to a cleaner, greener, modern industry.

Join us for a timely conversation about the critical importance of local manufacturing with local, state, and federal representatives.

Panelists include:

• Christina Briggs, Deputy City Manager/Economic Development Director, City of Fremont
• Assemblymember David Chiu, State of California District 17
• Senator Scott Wiener, State of California District 11
• More panelists to be announced

Facilitated by Kate Sofis, CEO and Co-founder of SFMade
