A Message to AISI Members from AISI President and CEO Tom Gibson:

"With major financial, energy and climate policy issues before us and a presidential election right around the corner, I am pleased to be joining AISI at this critical time.

I look forward to bringing my government and industry experience to bear as the Institute intensifies its policy-focused mission on behalf of its members.

The North American steel industry has a tremendous record of innovation and achievement, and AISI's work has a solid reputation, something that had impressed me even before coming here. I look forward to bringing the industry's impressive story to decision makers at all levels of government as we advance our advocacy agenda.

I am committed to working tirelessly, with your support, to advance the North American steel industry's position as an innovative, competitive, technologically-advanced and environmentally-progressive industry."
