Chicago Manufacturing Renaissance Council
The Chicago Manufacturing Renaissance Council (CMRC) - Leading the Race to the Top!
Mission
Promote and support the Chicago area as a center for High Road/High Performance manufacturing.
Purpose
This mission requires high productivity, high wages, high profits, breakthrough innovation, strong investment and practices that offer long term rewards to its owners, managers, employees, communities and the public sector. To achieve its purpose, CMRC focuses on:
1. Promotion and marketing: Strengthen our partners by promoting their work, products, and services.
2. Workforce excellence: Assist companies to find, train and retain skilled workers—acknowledging and addressing the impending skills shortage.
3. Public Awareness: Provide the public with an understanding of modern manufacturing and its future. Particularly inspire the “best and the brightest” of the next generation to see engaging the challenges and opportunities of manufacturing as their career choice.
4. Education: Build a manufacturing career path system linking companies to public schools, colleges and universities. Improve the performance of educational institutions so that they provide fully skilled and educated workers, managers, and owners for the sector.
5. Services: Improve the quality, suitability and availability of public and private services for manufacturers.
6. Information and networking: Create forums for new ideas, debates, candid evaluation, critical thinking, and information; and networks for joint work.
7. Advocacy: Create and support city, state and federal public policies that encourage manufacturing to thrive.
Structure
CMRC is a federation of businesses, labor organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, associations, community based organizations, chambers of commerce and others who work toward our shared purpose. As a federation we are more effective working together, consciously seeking to enhance and complement our partner organizations.
Our four co-chairs represent manufacturing companies, labor, and government. Our Executive Committee represents the leadership of Chicago’s business, labor, community, education and government. Our Program Committees develop and expand the work of the Council.|
