(Rescheduled) Member Meeting - Virtual Tariffs, Supplier Increases & Leadership: How to Negotiate Without Giving Away Margin

Date: August 28, 2026

Summary: Jim Boldrey will lead a practical conversation on tariffs, sourcing negotiations, and the leadership decisions manufacturers face when supplier costs rise. The session will cover how to evaluate whether an increase is justified, what information to request from suppliers, how to avoid permanent increases tied to temporary conditions, and how to align purchasing, finance, operations, and sales before responding. CWIMA members will walk away with better questions to ask suppliers, a clearer framework for protecting margin, and a stronger approach to communicating cost changes with customers and their own teams.
