Scheduled for November 15^th – with our USMCA Content Reporting - 1 Day course, and ACE Reporting Demonstrations for Export/Import* the day before and after, respectively – our 2023 event will explore, "Agility: Navigating Our Same Supply Chain Toward a New Playing Field."

The United States Environmental Protection Agency recently proposed increased vehicle emission standards for light-duty and medium-duty vehicles starting with model years 2027. These proposed emission cutbacks have ramifications for a wide swath of industry – but especially for manufacturers and supply chain professionals. In this article, we will explore the goals of this proposal, its challenges and benefits to manufacturing, and how people in the field can prepare for stricter emissions requirements.

When Tonya Vanover attended her first AIAG event several years ago, she never imagined she would one day work for the organization. As AIAG’s new program manager for sustainable supply chain logistics, Vanover brings a unique perspective to the role because she has worked as an OEM and on the supplier side. Prior to accepting this position with AIAG, Vanover was senior buyer — global purchasing and supply chain for General Motors.
