Indium Corporation President to Speak at Workforce and Education Conference

June 5, 2020

Indium Corporation’s Ross Berntson, President and COO, will be one of the featured speakers at Jobs for the Future (JFF) Horizons virtual conference at 3 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST), Tuesday, June 9. 

 

Drawing from his unique global manufacturing experience, Berntson will participate in the session Responding to Crisis and Preparing for the Future: Regional Manufacturing Perspectives. In this session, Berntson and co-speakers will provide regional perspectives on how COVID-19 has impacted their industry in some unprecedented ways, as well as how manufacturers are planning for future recovery. 

 

Part of Indium Corporation’s response to COVID-19, which has been designed to keep employees safe and the factories running, was derived from the creation of a manufacturer’s pledge. Created in coordination with the Manufacturers Association of Central New York (MACNY), who will also present at the Horizons conference, the pledge is designed to utilize collective skills and knowledge, as well as best practices from noted authorities to help manufacturers make decisions that would allow them to keep employees safe and the factories running.
