MANUFACTURERS’ AGENDA FOR ECONOMIC GROWTH AND AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM

Every day, manufacturers go to work to serve their customers, strengthen their companies and improve their communities. And in doing so, they are advancing four core values that make America an exceptional nation. The first of these is free enterprise: market forces that drive innovation and growth better than any system ever conceived. The second is competitiveness: our ability to expand markets and succeed in the global economy. The third is individual liberty: the creativity and entrepreneurship unleashed by protecting, defending and advancing our basic freedoms. And the fourth, equal opportunity: our shared belief that every one of us can contribute to the success of our companies, our communities and our country. These values are the pillars of American Exceptionalism—the notion that more than any country, we are defined not only by our past but also by our future. To ensure that manufacturing remains strong and that America remains exceptional, we must defend these values and advance the right policies in our government.

A Work Better, Work Smarter Government

whitePaper | May 12, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic raised demands on government work and services in many new, unexpected and rapidly changing ways. It quickly became apparent that older enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and processes couldn’t keep pace with many emerging government needs, both technical and operational. By moving to a modern ERP system, the public sector can better prepare for the future and build a foundation that enables an intelligent government enterprise.

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WOMEN, PEACE, AND SECURITY CONGRESSIONAL REPORT

whitePaper | July 18, 2022

The world is more peaceful, safe, and prosperous when the human rights of women are respected and they can fully participate in economic, social, and political life. But we know the enduring challenges of fulfilling that promise. A defining competition between democracies and autocracies. The COVID-19 pandemic. The climate crisis. Mass migration and displacement. The denial of education and sexual violence against women and girls across the world. No matter what global crisis unfolds—women and girls are disproportionately impacted, and that makes the world less stable.

Security Clearances for Contractors and Government Employees

whitePaper | January 29, 2020

Individual government contractors face more rigorous scrutiny, as private companies can monitor employee’s social media as part of their continuous vetting and insider threat protocols. However, despite the existence of a directive permitting them to do so, government agencies do not monitor their employees’ social media. Our interviews found this is due to a lack of clear guidance on how to implement the existing directives and security policies. This shortcoming can be remedied by government agencies agreeing upon a single common standard regarding the use of publicly available electronic information, specifically social media, for personnel security and insider threat purposes. The DNI, as Security Executive Agent for the government, must then develop guidelines for the implementation of this standard throughout the sector.
