MANUFACTURERS COUNCIL OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY

What MANUFACTURERS COUNCIL OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY does

The Manufacturers Council of the Central Valley (MCCV) is a 501(c)(6) non-profit industry association serving manufacturers across Merced, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin counties in California's San Joaquin Valley. Founded as a collective advocacy organization — with founding member Stanislaus Food Products participating for over 32 years — MCCV functions as the unified voice for manufacturers on regulatory, workforce, and infrastructure issues, with particular focus on air quality, water availability and quality, energy costs, and workforce development. Its membership spans small businesses to multinational corporations across food processing, wine and spirits, packaging, plastics, petroleum, utilities, and land development.

MCCV's core offerings include a tiered Membership Program providing access to advocacy services, networking events, a member directory, and issue-specific forums; the Advanced Manufacturing Partnership (AMP), a regional initiative spanning three counties; the annual North Valley Manufacturing Summit; and specialized Member Resource Hubs covering board governance, environmental and regulatory matters, and workforce development. The organization operates on a community-led go-to-market model with hybrid in-person and virtual meetings, member-driven forums, and collaborative working sessions. It does not develop proprietary technology; its digital infrastructure relies on Wild Apricot membership management software and Personify for payment processing.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual membership dues, one-time event registration fees (with a tiered refund policy), and event sponsorship revenue — including a federally supported North Valley Manufacturing Summit under U.S. Department of Treasury award #SLFRP2096 channeled through the County of Stanislaus. The organization is independently governed by a volunteer Executive Committee drawn from member companies, with a small paid staff led by Executive Director Stacey Kollmeyer Johnson (appointed June 2024) and Policy Director Maryn Pitt.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• California Chamber of Commerce: Broad-based California business advocacy association. Comparable dues-funded advocacy model but covers all industries rather than specializing in manufacturing.
• National Association of Manufacturers (NAM): Largest U.S. manufacturing trade association with national advocacy, workforce, and policy programs. Comparable membership-based advocacy model, but operating at significantly broader geographic and political scale than MCCV.

Direct peers

• VOLT Institute: Modesto-based advanced-manufacturing workforce training nonprofit. Comparable as a regional manufacturing-workforce organization partnering with MCCV on competency-based training delivery.
• North Valley THRIVE: Northern San Joaquin Valley regional economic-development coalition under California Jobs First. Comparable as a regional coalition advancing manufacturing, workforce, and infrastructure priorities — and currently MCCV's anchor programmatic partner.
• California Manufacturers & Technology Association (CMTA): Statewide manufacturing trade association advocating for California manufacturers on policy, workforce, and regulatory issues. Directly comparable as a dues-funded 501(c)(6) representing manufacturers, though at state rather than regional scale.
• Roadmap for Innovation (formerly CMTC): California-focused manufacturing consulting and technology adoption nonprofit carrying forward CMTC's 33-year legacy. Comparable as a California manufacturing-services organization with overlapping workforce and modernization missions; already an MCCV partner.
• Opportunity Stanislaus: Stanislaus County economic development organization partnering with MCCV on advanced-manufacturing workforce scaling. Comparable as a regional nonprofit focused on manufacturing workforce and economic development in MCCV's core geography.

Regional players

• Greater Sacramento Economic Council: Regional economic development organization serving the Sacramento/Central Valley corridor. Comparable as a regional convener for manufacturers and workforce initiatives, though broader than manufacturing-only.

Others

• San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District: The regulatory body MCCV engages with on PM2.5 and emissions rulemaking. Not a peer in the commercial sense, but a structurally connected counterparty central to MCCV's advocacy agenda.
• Stanislaus County Workforce Development Board: Local workforce-development funder under which MCCV operates as Manufacturing Convener. Ecosystem partner rather than commercial peer, but materially shapes MCCV's workforce programming.
