Senate Resolution No. 1527

BY: Senator KAPLAN

        MEMORIALIZING  Governor  Kathy  Hochul to proclaim
        October 7, 2022, as Manufacturing Day in  the  State
        of New York

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense  of  this  Legislative  Body  to  honor
manufacturing professionals and the  critical  role  they  play  in  the
development  of  the  State of New York; these talented and hard-working
men  and  women  are  an  asset  beyond  remuneration  and   cannot   be
sufficiently extolled; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to memorialize
Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim October 7, 2022, as Manufacturing  Day
in  the  State  of  New  York,  in  conjunction  with the observation of
National Manufacturing Day; and

  WHEREAS, Sponsored by Manufacturing Institute, the social impact arm
of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), Manufacturing Day is
an opportunity for manufacturers  to  highlight  their  work  and  their
workers and to energize a future pipeline of skilled workers; and

  WHEREAS,  An  annual  event  which  occurs  on  the  first Friday of
October, Manufacturing Day's mission is to promote modern  manufacturing
practices,  jumpstart new approaches to growing the manufacturing talent
pool, and build a steady pipeline of qualified workers; and

  WHEREAS, Over the next decade, there are expected to be 3.5  million
job openings in manufacturing, with a growing skill shortage; and

  WHEREAS,  The main priorities of Manufacturing Day are to change the
perception of careers in manufacturing to reflect its true status as the
most advanced, high-tech  industry  in  the  country;  re-establish  the
United  States  as the global leader of manufacturing education; support
education and job training policies which strengthen the United  States'
manufacturing  workforce;  and  ultimately,  help  manufacturers build a
steady pipeline of qualified and  diversified  manufacturing  talent  to
help build and support local economies for decades to come; and

  WHEREAS, Manufacturing is truly the lifeblood of local, national and
global  economies; without it, no goods land on the shelves of household
name stores, no direct-to-consumer company  would  ever  exist,  and  no
affordable goods economy could be created; and

  WHEREAS,  Manufacturers  do  this  work  in  warehouses often called
"plants," managing not just the needs of inventory, but the creation  of
the  goods,  the human capital it takes to produce them, and the freight
costs required to get them where they need to go; and

  WHEREAS, The manufacturing industry  hopes  that  Manufacturing  Day
will  help  raise  awareness  to support the manufacturers that make our
retail ecosystem come to life, and recruit and retain skilled workers to
fulfill the need for the industry's future workforce requirements;  now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy  Hochul  to  proclaim  October  7,  2022,  as
Manufacturing Day in the State of New York; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of  New
York.
