“Kelly is committed to the success of our industry, and the NAM will be stronger thanks to her service on our Board of Directors. Kelly will be a partner in the NAM’s efforts to advance a competitiveness agenda that amplifies manufacturers’ efforts to create well-paying jobs, grow our economy and improve the quality of life,” Jay Timmons, president and CEO of NAM, said. “The stakes are high for manufacturers in America. We are committed to working with policymakers to prevent devastating tax increases scheduled for the end of 2025, push back against the regulatory onslaught, secure additional reforms to our outdated permitting system, strengthen the manufacturing workforce and expand opportunities to sell our products around the world. I look forward to working together as advocates for manufacturing in the U.S. and to advance the values that have made America exceptional and our industry strong — free enterprise, competitiveness, individual liberty and equal opportunity.”
