On Wednesday June 23rd at noon, Michael Woody, of the Rhode Island Textile Innovation Network, will be chatting with Michelle Farrington and Natasha Spackey from AFFOA (Advanced Functional Fabrics of America). They’ll be discussing AFFOA’s current business model, and how they facilitate partnerships to develop advanced textiles. Should be an interesting discussion. They have some heavy hitter members, as you can see by clinking on this link to the membership page of their website: http://go.affoa.org/members/
On Wednesday, July 24th, also at lunchtime, RITIN will profile Polaris MEP’s new Center Director, Kathie Mahoney. Although most of us are well-acquainted with Polaris, Kathie will be walking us through updates on workforce training and hiring, a key challenge for many of our textile companies today.
