UPDATE: Mr. Andrew Berger, IMA vice president of governmental affairs and tax policy, will present jointly with Brian Burton at the TSMA Second Quarter Event. Berger will offer a “behind the scenes” perspective on Indiana’s 2015 legislative session.
Mr. Brian Burton, incoming President of the Indiana Manufacturers Association (IMA), will speak at the Tri-State Manufacturers’ Association (TSMA) Second Quarter Event, May 14th at the Evansville Country Club. Burton officially takes office on July 1st, as the current IMA President Pat Kiley retires after 23 years of service.
“I’m looking forward to this opportunity to speak with TSMA members and guests,” Burton said. “The current legislative session will have ended, so it will be a great time to review the State’s manufacturing initiatives, as well as look at the headwinds manufacturers may face in the year ahead.”
Burton began his career with the IMA in 1999. Prior to working at the IMA, Brian served as the Vice President of Human Resources and Vice President of Economic Development at the Indiana Chamber of Commerce. He also served as Executive Vice President of the Indiana Junior Chamber of Commerce and Executive Director of their charitable foundation. Brian has been a registered lobbyist since 1989 and has lobbied on a variety of issues including economic development, human resources, transportation infrastructure, energy deregulation and labor relations.
