December 13, 2024

Hosted by NAMM President and CEO John Mlynczak on December 11, 2024, and featuring NAMM Policy Program Manager Claire Kreger-Boaz and experts from the law firm Nelson Mullins, this timely webinar covers critical topics that affect our members, including the historical and potential future impact of tariffs on the music products industry, particularly the 301 tariffs affecting imported goods from China. 

The session also provided insights into the legislative processes governing tariffs and the roles of the President and Congress, as well as the implications of potential changes to federal education funding, specifically regarding music education as supported by the Every Student Succeeds Act and what will happen if the Department of Education is dismantled.

We have provided three ways to view these important topics:

1. The full webinar, including both tariffs and federal education policy discussion

2. Tariffs only

3. Federal Education only

NAMM and our partners at Nelson Mullins are monitoring these and other issues closely and will report the facts regarding policy updates as we have them.
