The Manufacturing Leadership Council (MLC) is a groundbreaking, global business leadership network specifically designed for senior executives in the manufacturing industry. As the world's first member-driven council, MLC aims to help these executives shape a better future for themselves, their organizations, and the industry as a whole by focusing on critical business and technology issues that drive growth today and in the future. MLC provides a wide range of valuable resources, including leadership networking opportunities, research, thought leadership content, and professional development products, programs, and services.

Members have the chance to engage with innovative and insightful peers from various manufacturing disciplines, fostering meaningful professional and personal relationships. The council offers events like the Rethink Summit, which combines senior-level content, interactive discussions, and networking. Additionally, the Master Class Series provides valuable insights to help executives navigate the digital era of manufacturing.

Plant Tours offer a unique opportunity to witness leading manufacturing operations up close while networking with like-minded peers. With a focus on important subjects like the Internet of Things, smart products, operational flexibility, and Big Data, the council ensures that members stay future-focused and equipped with the latest knowledge and best practices. Through Critical Issues Roundtables, members gain access to proven processes, best practices, and frameworks that they can implement within their own organizations.

Furthermore, the council facilitates working groups known as Decision Compass Groups, where expert member networking groups discuss best practices in critical focus areas. These groups meet online to ensure that all discussions are confidential and trusted. MLC's programs and services are driven by its diverse group of executive members, allowing for cross-functional and cross-sectoral networking opportunities.

Ultimately, the council aims to help senior executives stay at the forefront of industry trends and drive manufacturing innovation. The MLC is part of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the largest manufacturing association in the United States. NAM represents small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and advocates for policies that foster economic strength and job creation.
