In Brief
What do the border adjustability tax proposals mean for you? In case you missed it, AAFA’s December 14 member-only webinar with Mayer Brown and AAFA is now available here (member login required). The webinar explained an overhaul of the U.S. tax code as one of the first items of business in the coming year and what the genesis of border adjustability means for your business.

Taking part in AAFA webinars: This month, AAFA hosted three open-industry webinars highlighting key issues in the industry:

"Counterfeiters on the Rise – Challenges and Best Practices" with MarkMonitor, Part of Clarivate Analytics

"Supply Chain Slavery Threats and Trends" with BSI Supply Chain Services and Solutions

"CSR with WRAP - A New Approach to Working Hours"

All three recordings are now available here. For more information about all of our webinars, visit the AAFA Calendar of Events or Webinar Learning Center. Contact Megan Balkovic to discuss webinar sponsorship in 2017 and beyond.

Updates from AAFA’s Government Contracts Committee: AAFA’s Government Contracts Committee (GCC) keeps members apprised of developments that bear on the needs and requirements of the U.S. military and other parts of the U.S. government with respect to the procurement of clothing and shoes. AAFA will soon begin sending weekly alerts advising of domestic sourcing opportunities. If you’re looking to increase your U.S. manufacturing footprint, this will provide you a regular way to identify U.S.-based production capabilities. If you’re looking for more business for your U.S. manufacturing facilities, this service will link you up with individuals in our industry looking to find such business. To discuss how you can plug in to this exciting new opportunity, please contact Steve Lamar. More information will follow in the new year! Be sure to register for the next GCC Meeting, May 9 – 10, in Natick, MA.
