Design Chain Associates, LLC, the leading electronics industry design chain consulting firm, is pleased to announce that the demand for their expertise and insights in environmental compliance is resulting in informative presentations at multiple events around the country over the next few weeks.
(PRWEB) October 6, 2005 -- Michael Kirschner, President of Design Chain Associates, LLC, said “DCA participates in these events in an effort to raise awareness of this new form of legislation throughout the industry. The impact is so often underscoped, underappreciated, and compared to something as simple and fleeting as the Y2K problem, but this is far deeper, far broader, and far more important to the electronics industry, its suppliers, and its customers than that. This does not end on July 1, 2006 (when RoHS goes in to effect): it merely begins. Our goal is to open the eyes of the industry and enable companies to view this holistically and strategically. Only then will the way to profit become clear.”
Here is the DCA presentation and topic schedule:
