This fall, the Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland (RMI) and the Maryland Chamber of Commerce are hitting the road with “Let’s Talk” Community Conversations, a series of 13 gatherings designed to bring Maryland manufacturers face-to-face with their local legislators. These gatherings are part of Voices for Manufacturing, a joint initiative between RMI and Maryland Chamber designed to highlight the value of manufacturing for people, communities and Maryland’s future economy.

This isn’t politics. It’s about making your voice heard. It’s your chance to:

Share your story directly with your elected officials.
Show the impact manufacturing has in your community.
Strengthen relationships that can shape the future of your business and industry.

We are inviting Senators and Delegates from every legislative district associated with each Conversation event. We are assuring them we will be inviting manufacturers from their respective districts, so we hope you will join us for your County's event.

We’ll be capturing photos and highlights from each event and sharing them afterward through RMI and Maryland Chamber’s networks to shine a spotlight on Maryland manufacturers.

Your voice matters. Your presence matters. We hope you will register to join us for your event.

When registering, select the date of the event you are attending. You must be an executive or employee of a Maryland manufacturing company and may only attend the Community Conversation associated with the county in which your company is located.

See below for details on each Community Conversation event. Note: Some events are not yet open for registration because all details have not been confirmed.
