The next SMU Community Chat will be Wednesday, June 26, at 11 am ET (10 am CT) with Gary Stein, CEO of Triple-S Steel Holdings Inc.
The webinar is free to attend. A recording will be available only to SMU members. You can register here.
We’ll talk about the market for structurals and trends in construction. We’ll also touch on trade policy, government regulation – and maybe even a lesson or two from steel history.
So think of some good questions, and bring them to the Q&A.
