Robinson+Cole manufacturing lawyer Jeffrey J. White was invited to the White House to participate in a manufacturing roundtable on March 14, 2019. The roundtable brought together manufacturing business leaders and government officials to discuss the issues facing both publicly traded and privately held U.S. manufacturing businesses. Issues discussed included the sustained growth of U.S. manufacturing and how manufacturers are successfully using both developments in technology and workforce training to expand into new markets and grow internationally.

Attorney White was one of fourteen manufacturing leaders invited to meet with senior staff from the White House’s Office of Public Liaison as well as other government officials, including representatives from the offices of Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Tom Reed (R-NY), who is Co-Chair of the House of Representatives Manufacturing Caucus. The roundtable was jointly organized by the Department of Commerce and Small Business Administration and attended by senior officials from both organizations, including Ian Steff (Deputy Assistant Secretary for Manufacturing, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce) and Anne Evans (Director, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce). “It was a privilege to be invited to participate with such an esteemed group of manufacturing leaders,” said Mr. White. “I look forward to continuing to be part of the national dialogue to expand manufacturing both in the United States and globally for companies of all sizes.”
