Riverland Community College and Enterprise Minnesota are currently accepting registrations for a free State of Manufacturing event to be held at the Albert Lea Campus May 29 from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the Lecture Hall (Room 124).

Bob Kill, Enterprise Minnesota president, will discuss findings from its fifth annual State of Manufacturing® survey results that report on the state’s manufacturing outlook and the industry’s top issues. Enterprise Minnesota conducted hundreds of phone surveys and 20 focus groups with manufacturing executives across the state to understand their perceptions and opinions on the economy and other major issues impacting business.

This is an important event for anyone in or connected to the manufacturing industry, as well as educators, elected officials, economic development professionals, granting agencies and members of the media. Attendees will receive a book revealing a compilation of the results and a summary of the findings.

A discussion will follow the results presentation. To register for the event, go to http://www.stateofmanufacturing.com/registration.html. There is no fee to attend.

Enterprise Minnesota helps Minnesota manufacturing enterprises grow profitably. The organization is an affiliate of the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension.
