66 I-CONNECT007 MAGAZINE I JULY 2026 A M E R I CA N M A D E A DVO CACY BY S H A N E W H I T ES I D E , P C BA A T he Printed Circuit Board Association of America recently celebrated its fifth anni- versary. We began with five member com- panies that banded together to influence legisla- tion favorable to our industry. Today, we have 90 members across the entire ecosystem: OEMs, fab- ricators, assemblers, materials providers, testing companies, and applied AI startups. Our member- ship ranges from companies with long histories to ventures just embarking on their PCB journeys. Our growing association has raised the profile of the PCB industry where our members live and work, as well as in Washington, D.C. Members have hosted legislators in their home districts, and PCBAA repre- sentatives have frequent direct engagements on Capitol Hill. Our annual meeting last month included PCBAA's Fifth Annual Meeting Growing Membership and Valuable Relationships
