NAM names board of directors

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Washington, D.C., has announced a new board of directors.

Gregg Sherrill, chairman and CEO of Tenneco Inc., has been named as chair, and John F. Lundgren, chairman and CEO of Stanley Black & Decker Inc., will serve as vice chair for a two-year term. In addition, Tom Riordan, president and CEO of Neenah Enterprises Inc., will serve as chair of the Small and Medium Manufacturers (SMM) Group, and Drew Greenblatt, president and owner of Marlin Steel Wire Products LLC, will serve as vice chair.

“Manufacturing is the cornerstone of economic growth and job creation in the U.S.,” said Riordan. “However, small and medium-sized manufacturers continue to face an onslaught of new federal regulations, increasing health care costs, a crumbling infrastructure, and the highest tax rate in the world.”

The board will advocate policies that will grow jobs in the U.S., attract foreign direct investment, ease the regulatory burden, lead the world in innovation, expand access to global markets, and ensure manufacturers have access to a skilled, modern workforce.
