Description:
With most pandemic funding scheduled to terminate in September 2024, a major fiscal cliff is looming for ECE – to the tune of a $48 billion deficit for our industry. What effects will this have on ECE? How can we turn this cliff into a bridge leading to permanent investments in the ECE infrastructure of this nation?
Join our panel as we discuss next-level advocacy strategies for addressing the fiscal cliff.
