Industry Advocacy

We are actively involved in the industry, on both a national and local level, advocating on behalf of our clients with governmental and regulatory bodies. We hold professional appointments on numerous association boards and serve as subject matter experts on several panels. Tom Murphy, RSM McGladrey’s Executive Vice President of Manufacturing and Wholesale Distribution, is a Board Director of the National Association of Manufacturers, which gives us access to the latest industry trends as well as its research and education arm, The Manufacturing Institute.
