Formal invitation

Dear Manufacturing Association Leader,

On behalf of the National Reshoring Center, we are preparing a future National Reshoring Summit for manufacturers, workforce leaders, academic partners, capital partners, and state leaders.

The Summit is designed as an execution-focused convening for leaders working on domestic manufacturing capacity, supply chain resilience, and workforce readiness. The focus is moving beyond policy discussion to the practical work of turning reshoring into executable projects.

As a key partner, your association can help NRC understand which manufacturers and workforce leaders should be part of a state delegation when registration opens.

We believe your perspective is essential as national strategy is aligned with regional labor capacity and state-level execution models.

Formal registration, payment, venue, and invitation deadlines will be shared only after the Summit platform is ready.

With appreciation,
National Reshoring Center

From alignment to execution

Use the Summit to build the national reshoring movement.

Presented by the West Virginia Manufacturers Association and ReshoreWV in partnership with Marshall University, the Summit gives NRC a platform for practical advocacy: policy alignment, partner recruitment, state coordination, and national implementation.

Two ways to engage

Raise your hand for state delegation planning or Summit sponsorship. NRC can use both paths to plan partner outreach and national programming before registration opens.
