Summit 2020 Keynote: Manufacturing a New California Dream
What happens when education and industry don’t work together and a looming skills gap is created? What do you do when you have a supply and sales demand that you can’t fulfill because there are not enough skilled workers in your community? Do we all want a vibrant business climate in California? Mike Betts, Chairman and CEO of Betts Company – a seventh-generation family manufacturing business – will share what happens when community works together to create a new California Dream. Learn how Mike’s passion for the manufacturing industry and his community led to the founding of the San Joaquin Manufacturing Alliance, AMBayArea’s sister organization to the south.
