2023 has been a productive year at AMCC as we have worked with all of you to accelerate the pace of progress to revitalize American manufacturing and pursue sustainable development across dozens of regional manufacturing communities. From little acorns, AMCC has grown from a volunteer network of moonlighters to a funded nonprofit organization that can better serve as a backbone for manufacturing ecosystem practitioners nationwide.
We’ve been lucky to have this journey fortified by the earnest participation and expertise of so many of you around the network, and this collaborative endeavor wouldn’t be possible without your shared commitment to working together to advance the achievement of our nation’s manufacturers and American society writ-large.
In the spirit of openness and transparency, we have put together a handful of datasets that show how much ground we’ve been able to cover thanks to all of you, and thanks to our partners at the U.S. Economic Development Administration for designating AMCC as the Nation’s Manufacturing Community of Practice. The tables and charts below provide insight on several of our core activities through FY23, and the amount of time and participation invested by you all that advance our common interests. Thank you to all AMCC leaders for making our work possible this year!
Our weekly, network-wide convening of all AMCC leaders who join for quick, efficient and informative 30-minute calls every non-holiday Monday of the year. These calls have been ongoing for nearly a decade, and have grown to greater heights over the past year. In the first year of AMCC’s Community of Practice, 278 unique individuals participated in at least one call, wow!
