After visiting six states (plus the White House) over the span of seven days, the National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) State of Manufacturing Tour has concluded. Over the course of a week, the NAM has taken our story to the masses with hundreds of articles, op-eds and television and radio interviews. Our final stop in Madison, Wis., at the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce’s (WMC) “Business Day in Madison” event, featured an especially stellar lineup of interviews with Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI), manufacturing CEOs from around the country and NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons.
