DEAN CAMERON
The old saying “ What does not kill us , makes us stronger ” must mean we are all Olympic weightlifters ! I / we are looking forward to the return of some normalcy . Here are a few bullet points to dwell on :
1 . |
Boeing is in turnaround mode , slow , but going in the right direction . |
2 . |
No more political bombardment … adopt the phrase “ We Shall See .” |
3 . |
Space continues to need a new and growing supply base . |
4 . |
Interest rates are starting to come down . |
5 . |
Inboarding manufacturing is a growing trend . |
These are not the only positive changes afoot ; it is the start of conference season again , beginning in this issue with our feature article coverage of the PNAA Conference in Lynnwood , Washington .
There are numerous industry associations that will be hosting multiple networking opportunities in the coming new year . Take advantage of these gatherings — meet your fellow industry associates and learn what exciting possibilities may be waiting for you . Holding back does not foster new business — getting out and sharing your skills and talents does .
We are looking forward to a strong 2025 !
