The Association of Steel Distributors is honored to share an evening with Governor John Kasich from the State of Ohio for our September Regional Meeting. This meeting will occur next Thursday, September 12 at the Ritz-Carlton Cleveland at 5:45 PM. ASD is privileged to have Governor Kasich deliver remarks and interact with the ASD members and guests with a special Q&A session.
In Ohio, nearly 100,000 jobs are tied to the steel industry and value-added steel production and processing is worth $6.18 billion annually.
This will be a unique opportunity for ASD’s business leaders from across the country to gather key insight on what measures the state of Ohio has implemented to promote a pro-growth economy, supportive of the steel industry. This ASD Regional Meeting will be worthwhile and relevant from a national business policy and networking perspective.
Demand for this special meeting is outpacing normal ASD Regional Meetings. To ensure a spot and to secure your registration, please click on this link.
