Manufacturers looking to play a direct role in shaping Ohio’s manufacturing policy now have a roadmap for the year ahead.

The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association (OMA) has published its 2026 policy committee calendar, outlining when members can engage with OMA staff and peers on the legislative, regulatory and economic issues driving costs and competitiveness.

OMA’s policy committees serve as the association’s primary forum for two-way dialogue, allowing manufacturers to weigh in on emerging proposals, hear timely briefings and help guide OMA’s advocacy priorities at the Statehouse.

“OMA is strongest when manufacturers are at the table,” OMA President Ryan Augsburger said. “These committees are how member insight turns into effective advocacy, and participation makes a real difference.”

Members are encouraged to review the 2026 schedule and plan involvement in the committees that align most closely with their business and policy priorities. 1/5/2026
