On Wednesday, industry leaders from across the state met in Columbus for the Ohio Manufacturers’ Leadership Forum to network, learn, and discuss the strength of Ohio’s manufacturing industry.

Former Youngstown State University President and Ohio State football Head Coach Jim Tressel and renowned political commentator Jonah Goldberg keynoted the forum.

“As you think about the long-standing tradition of Ohio manufacturing, the question you all are asking is ,’How do we protect it?’,” said Tressel. “With tradition comes the responsibility to protect it, and the only way we protect that legacy is to know that it’s going to take all of us. We are going to have to learn and rely on each other.”

Goldberg offered a detailed analysis of the 2024 election cycle, with an in-depth discussion of America’s political landscape, key swing states, and commentary on Tuesday’s debate between presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. 9/11/2024
