The Race for the White House: How Manufacturing is Adapting to Tariffs and the Outlook for Trade

Omar Nashashibi will present two important sessions. With all eyes and ears on Washington as the 2020 presidential election unfolds, Nashashibi will give an election watch rundown from an “insider’s” perspective. Nashashibi’s second presentation will focus on how manufacturing is adapting to tariffs and the outlook for trade.

Chief Master Sgt. (Ret.) Bob Vasquez, United States Air Force

The Power of SUPERvision

One of IHEA’s most popular speakers, Chief Master Sgt. Bob Vasquez returns with a new presentation based on his recently published book: The Power of SUPERvision! Every supervisor who aspires to become a SUPERvisor needs SUPERvision! SUPERvision starts with how you see yourself. What you see is what you’ll be. How do you see those people entrusted to you? How you see them is how they’ll be. How do they see you? They’re watching. You can count on that. Vision is important. SUPERvision is critical.
