LRMC Has Re-Structured
LRMC met on Wednesday November 17th to finalize a proposal to re-structure
the Council. The new structure consists of a smaller LRMC Steering
Committee and an enlarged LRMC Network.
This new structure has many advantages including a faster, more responsive
decision making body in the Steering Committee and an opportunity
to reach out to the larger manufacturing and manufacturing support
sectors through the LRMC Network.
Denis Crane, Chair of LRMC, noted that "this new format is an
effort to recognize the increasing interest in participation from
manufacturers and others in London. It will enable LRMC to become
a more inclusive network of manufacturing supporters."
The LRMC Steering Committee, composed mainly of manufacturers, will
solicit opinion and respond to immediate inquiries, decide on LRMC
priorities, resource allocation, and initiatives to be undertaken.
The Steering Committee will connect all members together so that
information can be shared throughout the LRMC Network.
The LRMC Network, composed of manufacturers, distributors, suppliers,
support organizations and other interested individuals, will provide
information, advice, resources and assistance in support of manufacturing
initiatives.
Individual LRMC Network members will become engaged as issues or
initiatives of interest arise as well a through regular manufacturer
networking events.
