Join Rebecca Geier, Chief Marketing Officer of ChemVM Technologies, Inc. as she navigates the best practices of digital marketing for engineers and technical audiences. The B2B buying process that technical buyers – from engineers to chemical procurement leaders – use to search for information related to products and services has transformed over the last two decades. Buyers are now in control of when and where they search for information – now primarily online. Business and sales leaders must adjust mindsets and investment strategies to ensure they are found where and when their buyers are buying.

Talking to the media is like no conversation you will ever have. It is even harder when you are also in the middle of an unfolding situation or crisis. To complicate things further, eye-witnesses immediately begin to post live videos, recorded videos, photographs and ugly posts the instant your situation becomes visible.
If you don’t speak and issue a statement, the information void is filled by rumors and speculation, which can hurt your revenue, reputation, and brand.
Wow! That sounds like a lethal combination.
How do you win?

With a new administration in Washington, including a soon-to-be named head of the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), big changes are likely coming for workplace safety regulations and enforcement. Please join NACD at 12 noon on Thursday, April 29 for an OSHA outlook webinar to be presented by Pete Downing, President of Environment & Safety Solutions. While OSHA kept a relatively low profile during the Trump Administration, the agency has been extremely active during the first weeks of the Biden Administration. OSHA has already issued serval new policies on COVID-19 worker safety and published a long-awaited proposed rule to update the Hazard Communication Standard. What other actions will OSHA take that will impact the chemical distribution industry? Will the agency resume efforts to update its Process Safety Management Standard, intensify efforts under its Chemical National Emphasis Program, and increase enforcement efforts, including a return to public shaming of companies that have been cited? Pete will discuss these and other topics to help your company prepare.

Each spring chemical distributors and their supply chain affiliates from around the country gather in Washington, D.C. to meet with their Members of Congress and regulators to educate and advocate for important policy goals. Well, clearly this year things are going to be a little different, but it doesn't change the fact that meeting 'face-to-face' with those who craft and enforce our laws is the most effective way to get your message through to Capitol Hill and federal agencies.
This year, on January 26 from Noon to 3:00 p.m. ET, we will have our first-ever NACD Trade Focused Virtual Fly-In! From discussing the Miscellaneous Tariff Bill to the renewal of the Generalized System of Preferences, we're excited to dive deep with high-ranking legislators and regulators from Capitol Hill to discuss all things trade!
Your experiences are important, and your presence will be noted by our guest speakers—we need your voice and we hope you'll join us!
