KAM Day at the Capitol

KAM's Inaugural "Day at the Capitol" is Very Successful!

Monday, January 23, representatives from over a dozen of Kentucky's major manufacturers, as well as industries that support manufacturing, and workforce development partners, met in Frankfort for the first-ever KAM Day at the Capitol. After a quick lunch, the group met with Governor Steve Beshear at the Capitol building for a briefing and photos.

They returned to the Capitol Annex where they heard legislative and Cabinet leaders give their perspectives on Kentucky's economy, economic and workforce development efforts, and the priorities facing the 2012 session of the General Assembly, all issues which could affect manufacturers in the Commonwealth. The list of speakers included:

•    Speaker of the House Greg Stumbo
•    Chairman, House Appropriations & Revenue, Rep. Rick Rand
•    Senate Majority Floor Leader Robert Stivers
•    President of the Senate, David L. Williams
•    Secretary Len Peters, Energy & Environment Cabinet
•    Secretary Mark S. Brown, Labor Cabinet
•    Secretary Larry Hayes, Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development

Feedback so far has been excellent. Here is what some of our members had to say:

•    "...KAM hit this first-ever event out of the ballpark."
•    "I thought the information sessions were very good. I think meeting with leadership is important to show the value of KAM and the impact and importance of the group."
•    "I believe the event was very valuable. I believe it provided visibility for KAM. I think it conveyed that KAM is engaged. I appreciate KAM's position to support business."

For our inaugural event, invited participants were limited to KAM Board members and major sponsors to test logistics and see how it would be received. Due to the overwhelming success of this event, we hope to open it to a larger audience next year, so stay tuned!

A special thanks to our sponsor!
