The leader of a newly formed organization bringing together hundreds of Arizona defense industry contractors says 2023 will be an important year for the group’s mission to amplify those companies’ voices on the national stage.as a statewide effort to unify the players in the state and promote their interests in Congress.

Smith said the AZDIC is facilitating conversations on processing copper at home, looking at environmental impacts and other concerns, and is developing a white paper for Congress to depict how Arizona can solve a key supply chain problem.
