9:00 a.m. Cybersecurity: The Case for Making it a Necessary Budget Item—Karen Kiewski and Rubens Perdomo, Systems X
Cybersecurity is a hot topic that is often proposed as risk mitigation you must have in place, but what is the real benefit to organizations?

10:00 a.m. Tariffs, Supply Lines and Manufacturing Operations: An Update from Washington, D.C.—Omar Nashashibi, The Franklin Partnership
As the 2022 midterm election approaches, businesses should factor in how a possible change in power on Capitol Hill could impact their manufacturing operations. Omar S. Nashashibi with PMA’s lobbying firm in Washington, D.C., The Franklin Partnership, will provide an update on the latest developments on government activities and strategies to use when facing uncertainty surrounding trade and tariffs, supply line stability, expired tax provisions and new regulatory activity. Manufacturing costs continue to increase and the government is trying to help, sometimes successfully, but more often not. Omar will lend his insight into what CFOs should expect from Washington the rest of 2022 and into next year.
