BY: Senator KAPLAN

MEMORIALIZING Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim
October 7, 2021, 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 Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim October 7, 2021, 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 Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim October 7, 2021, 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 Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of
New York.
