Policy + Model Legislation
NRC helps states understand import dependency, coordinate practical legislation, develop resolutions, and adapt model policy ideas to the needs of their own economy.

Policy, convening, and execution support for states.
NRC advocacy is not just legislation. It is the work of helping states align policy, manufacturers, workforce leaders, importers, educators, capital partners, and public officials around practical reshoring execution.
Advocacy pathways
Two ways NRC helps states move from interest to action.
Policy creates the authority and direction. Convening brings the people into the room who can turn that direction into projects, investment, workforce capacity, and domestic production.
National Reshoring Summit
A national convening for state delegations, manufacturers, workforce leaders, capital partners, educators, and public officials focused on execution.

NRC helps states connect local manufacturing priorities with federal opportunities, public comments, RFIs, industrial strategy, and national supply-chain resilience work.
What advocacy includes
Legislation is one tool. Convening is another.
NRC advocacy is designed to give states both the policy framework and the partner table needed to act.
Model Legislation
State-fit policy concepts for reshoring, import substitution, domestic manufacturing capacity, data collection, and measurable execution.
Summit Delegations
State-by-state invitation blocks that bring manufacturers associations and state leaders into a national reshoring conversation.
Policy Briefs
Plain-language explainers, public comments, RFIs, research summaries, and practical materials that help leaders understand the opportunity.
Roundtables
State and regional convenings that align manufacturers, importers, workforce partners, EDOs, colleges, and policymakers around real projects.
State Chapters
Local structures that keep advocacy grounded in state manufacturing opportunities rather than abstract national talking points.
Partner Alignment
Coordination across industry, government, education, research, capital, philanthropy, and technology so the work can move from rhetoric to execution.
Advocacy in practice
Build the policy framework and bring the right people into the room.
Whether a state needs model legislation, a reshoring resolution, a public comment, a chapter strategy, or a delegation to the National Reshoring Summit, NRC helps make the work practical and coordinated.
