While there was much NMBC learned at COSMA that can make a difference in New Mexico, here are some of the key points that NAM has established as priorities for public policy and what candidates seeking office in 2016 should focus on: 1) Tax: A forward-looking tax policy is an economic imperative; 2) Trade: Open trade distinguishes a successful nation, delay and uncertainty hold back; 3) Energy: Strengthening manufacturing by capitalizing on the energy renaissance; 4) Transportation and Infrastructure: A priority necessary to compete.

NMBC made some great contacts at the 2016 COSMA and will be working to bring some of the ‘best practices’ for manufacturing and other business development from around the nation to help improve New Mexico’s struggling economy.
