The Labor Management Cooperation Initiative (LMCI) hosted the annual Finishing Industries Forum (FIF) last February 16-18 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This three-day forum gathered industry leaders, contractors, manufacturers, and educators across North America and discussed some of the most pressing issues facing our industries, as well as answered questions from attendees about creating and maintaining an effective labor-management relationship.
To provide expert perspective on critical industry topics, FIF invited a distinguished line-up of guest speakers, including:

Panel discussions and sessions included key industry topics, such as:
- Pre-Apprenticeship Panel: Building Multiple Pathways to Build our Workforce
- Expanding Market Share and Successful Job Recovery
