Political Engagement

Manufacturers must make their voices heard. We must all become involved in driving our pro-manufacturing agenda. Here are four ways MMA members can engage to support Michigan’s manufacturing future.

Join influential members of our manufacturing community, including MMA leadership, for a powerful day dedicated to supporting Michigan industry. MMA’s semi-annual golf classics are member-exclusive opportunities that support a strong manufacturing future.
