We are pleased to share an important update from the NASF Board of Directors. At its recent meeting, the Board unanimously approved funding to support Southern California’s 2026 Hexavalent Chromium (Cr⁶⁺) Petition advocacy needs. This effort is critical to ensuring that our industry’s voice is strongly represented as regulatory discussions continue to evolve in the region.

To support this work, the Board authorized the use of resources from NASF1000, allowing us to move quickly and effectively in coordinating expert engagement, policy outreach, and strategic communications.

This investment reflects NASF’s continued commitment to safeguarding the future of the finishing industry and ensuring that our members have strong, proactive representation in key regulatory matters.

We will continue to keep you informed as this advocacy initiative progresses.

Thank you for your ongoing support of NASF and our mission.

Sincerely,

Craig Addington

Executive Director

National Association for Surface Finishing
