Manufacturers' Council
The Lincolnland Manufacturers' Council was organized to assist our area manufacturers with the following issues:
1. to keep them abreast of nearby developments which will impact their business
2. to introduce the manufacturers to existing and new business CEO's and executives
3. to identify issues needing attention and to address those issues
4. to provide, when needed, a firm and positive voice from local businesses and industries to government        agencies and/or the press

History
We have presented information on workforce issues, solid waste issues, ISO-9000, and various technologies and training issues. The Manufacturers' Council was designed for the benefit of our area manufacturers to meet their growing needs.

Those manufacturers who have joined the Manufacturers' Council also have the benefit of being a member of Lincolnland Economic Development Corporation.
