The SCMA has identified six critical areas vital for sustaining a vibrant industrial economy. These focus areas will be the bedrock on which the 2025 vision stands, ensuring that each component works in synergy to bring about transformation. Every year, industry leaders propose legislative actions that are thoughtfully evaluated by the SCMA Board of Directors, ensuring a continuous improvement cycle fueled by collaborative input.
