The American Mold Builders Association (AMBA) hopes to bring awareness to U.S. Congressional leaders during the association’s Annual Fall Conference, to be held in Washington, D.C., from September 13 to September 15, 2009.

Working with other manufacturing and industry trade groups, the AMBA plans to enlighten Congress people as to the plight of U.S. manufacturing generally and the American mold manufacturing industry specifically.

Mike Walter, a director on the AMBA board, noted that he was able to meet with 10 Congress people in two days at an event prior to the association’s conference last year, and before Congress was in session. This year’s event is being held as Congress is in session.
