Summary

Join us for an exclusive, member-focused discussion with Lisa Shimkat, Associate Administrator of Field Operations at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), on the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative and what it means for your business. This conversation will explore how the initiative is designed to strengthen domestic manufacturing, expand access to capital, support workforce development, and create new growth opportunities for small and mid-sized manufacturers across the country. Attendees will gain insight into how the U.S. Small Business Administration is working to align federal resources with real-world business needs — from financing tools and technical assistance to federal contracting opportunities.

This interactive session is designed with our members in mind. You’ll hear directly from SBA leadership about available programs, upcoming priorities, and practical ways manufacturers can engage with the Initiative. There will also be an opportunity to submit questions and share feedback to ensure your perspective is part of the conversation. Discover how to play the leadership game on their own terms and win when it comes to achieving their goals.

Attendees will learn:

  • How the Made in America Manufacturing Initiative is structured and what it means for small and mid-sized manufacturers.
  • What financing, lending, and capital access tools are available through the U.S. Small Business Administration to support equipment investment, expansion, and modernization.
  • How manufacturers can leverage federal programs to strengthen workforce development, supply chains, and domestic production.
  • Practical steps members can take to engage with SBA resources and position their businesses for new growth opportunities.
