NFFS Launches The Foundry Brief: Your Inside Track on Washington, D.C.
Introducing The Foundry Brief: Your Inside Track on Washington, D.C.
Beginning October 1, NFFS is launching a new exclusive member benefit designed to help foundry leaders stay ahead of the policy developments that could affect their businesses: The Foundry Brief, a live monthly government affairs online briefing.
The Foundry Brief is your inside track on what you need to know from Washington—and what may be coming next.
Stay Ahead of What’s Coming
Washington moves quickly, and so do the policies that impact manufacturers. The goal of The Foundry Brief is simple: give NFFS members greater visibility into emerging issues and more time to prepare, respond and engage.
Led by NFFS Executive Director Jerrod Weaver and Government Affairs Liaison Omar Nashashibi, each monthly briefing will examine emerging legislative, regulatory and trade developments with potential implications for foundries, secondary ingot manufacturers and the broader metals industry.
Beyond hearing the latest developments, members will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss potential business impacts and better understand what may be on the horizon.
What We’ll Be Watching
Each edition of The Foundry Brief will feature timely updates and discussion on topics including:
- Federal legislation and regulatory activity affecting manufacturers
- Tariffs, trade policy and developments affecting metals and supply chains
- Environmental, workforce and workplace policy
- Defense industrial base and federal procurement issues
- Emerging policy developments that may not yet be widely reported but could become important to NFFS members
- Opportunities for NFFS and its members to provide input before policies are finalized
More Intelligence Between Briefings
This series is only one part of this new member resource. Beginning in late September, NFFS will also launch a monthly companion newsletter providing additional insight and context on government affairs issues relevant to the industry.
Together, the online briefing and newsletter are designed to give NFFS members a clearer picture of the policy landscape—and an earlier understanding of developments that could affect their operations.
One monthly briefing. One companion newsletter. A clearer view of the policy landscape affecting your business.
A Forum for Candid Member Discussion
We want The Foundry Brief to be a place where members can speak plainly, ask questions and openly discuss concerns.
To encourage candid conversation, AI meeting assistants, automated note-taking tools, meeting recordings and transcription services will not be permitted during The Foundry Brief series. This policy is intended to create an environment where members can participate openly without creating an unintended record of the discussion.
