IPC's GR Steering Committee Adds Two Industry Executives
January 7, 2005 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
BANNOCKBURN, Ill. — IPC — Association Connecting Electronics Industries announces that two industry executives have been added to the Government Relations (GR) Steering Committee. They are: Doug Bartlett, president, Bartlett Manufacturing; and Mark Jankowski, VP, Americas, MacDermid Inc.
The GR Steering Committee, comprised of 14 industry volunteers, meets at least three times a year and works to further IPC members' interests by promoting policies to foster economic growth and job creation, and to enhance the international competitiveness of all sectors of the U.S. electronic interconnection industry. The Committee addresses a range of issues that affect IPC member companies in the areas of tax, trade, technology research and development, and other issues, as determined by committee members.
To date, the committee's efforts have focused on leveling the playing field through strict enforcement of international trade rules, particularly in addressing the inequity of China's undervalued currency. The committee has also taken the lead to create the Department of Defense's Emerging/Critical Interconnect Technology (E/CIT) program, with $6 million in congressionally provided funding. In addition, the group successfully advocated for enhanced tax depreciation relief and the recently passed domestic production tax credit for U.S. manufacturers.
