Mission Statement:

To promote and enhance a positive business climate for manufacturing and related industries that operate within Arizona.

Guiding Principles:

Ensure Arizona provides a globally competitive environment for the manufacturing sector of the economy that promotes innovation and further investments in research and development by:

• Supporting a taxation system that promotes capital investment and research and development activities, and that keeps manufacturing jobs in Arizona.
• Ensuring energy policies respect Arizona's unique environmental factors, infrastructure, and market conditions, and foster reliable and affordable energy supplies.
• Advocating policies that reduce the cost of employer provided health care and pension plans to prevent rising costs that force quality jobs overseas.
• Ensuring the tort litigation system is fair to manufacturers and does not unnecessarily drive up costs.
• Creating a cost-effective and predictable regulatory environment that facilitates business operations and keeps compliance costs manageable.
• Improving employer access to highly skilled employees by supporting strong accountability measures, innovative management techniques, enhanced academic rigor, and efficient use of resources to improve education throughout Arizona.
