Mission Statement
To promote and enhance a positive business climate for manufacturing and related industries that operate within Arizona.
Guiding Principles
Ensure that Arizona provides a globally competitive environment for the manufacturing sector of the economy, one that promotes innovation and further investments in research and development, by:
- supporting a taxation system that promotes capital investment and research and development activities, and that keeps manufacturing jobs in Arizona;
- ensuring energy policies respect Arizona’s unique environmental factors, infrastructure, and market conditions, and foster reliable and affordable energy supplies;
- advocating policies that reduce the cost of employer provided health care and pension plans to prevent rising costs that force quality jobs overseas.
- ensuring the tort litigation system is fair to manufacturers and does not unnecessarily drive up costs;
- creating a cost-effective and predictable regulatory environment that facilitates business operations and keeps compliance costs manageable; and
- improving employer access to highly skilled employees by supporting strong accountability measures, innovative management techniques, enhanced academic rigor, and efficient use of resources to improve education throughout Arizona.
