SUPPORTING DOMESTIC MANUFACTURERS OF PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS

The Printed Circuit Board Association of America is a consortium of companies, representatives, and enthusiasts who support initiatives to advance the U.S. domestic production of microelectronics and specifically printed circuit boards.

These small pieces of plastic are integral to functioning electronics systems, including those used in the military. Unfortunately, most printed circuit boards come from China, whose leaders hold the power to cut off supplies at any time.

Rather than stand on the sidelines, PCBAA is taking action in Washington D.C. to improve conditions for U.S. domestic manufacturers of printed circuit boards. These actions are guided by PCBAA’s three main mission objectives:

THE PURPOSE

The Printed Circuit Board Association of America seeks to provide one voice for the PCB/PCBA industry.
We strive to educate, advocate, and legislate to raise awareness with decision-makers in Congress, the White House, the Department of Defense, and the rest of the Executive Branch about the domestic capabilities and resiliency of the printed circuit board and assembly industry for national security and economic purposes.

Women in Electronics (WE)

EXPANDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN IN THE FAST-PACED ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY

“WE” was formed in the fall of 2017 by a group of 20 inaugural women coming from all over the country to meet for its inaugural conference in Laguna Beach, CA. The group was built with the premise of women working collaboratively to find inspiration, strength, and empowerment through a sense of community.

The goals of WE are to:

  • Empower women through virtual event discussion groups.
  • Develop women with our Life Balance Series and Professional and Personal Leadership Development Program.
  • Advocate for ourselves and others through the professional career coaching in the Mentorship Program. 
  • Celebrate the accomplishments and advancement of women.
