Having a lawmaker visit your foundry is a great way to advocate and educate officials on the importance of metalcasting. It’s also the best way to illustrate what you do firsthand and how the metalcasting industry impacts the local, regional, and state economies. AFS Washington rep Stephanie Salmon is available to help member companies arrange a visit. Email her at ssalmon@afsinc.org.
