WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee, pictured top left, gave remarks last week at the U.S. House Nuclear Cleanup Caucus, which focused on small business contributions to EM’s success. EM Senior Advisor William “Ike” White, at top right, joined panelists Martin Schneider, president, Longenecker & Associates, and Susana Navarro, founder, president and CEO, Navarro Research and Engineering, to highlight EM’s current work with small businesses and the resulting achievements. Looking to the future of EM’s work with these companies, White said, “There’s a lot of work to do and if we’re going to get that work done faster and if we’re going to do it effectively, we need innovative ideas to make it happen, and one of the best places to get that is small businesses.” U.S. Reps. Susie Lee of Nevada and Joe Wilson of South Carolina also spoke at the event, which was hosted by the Energy Facility Contractors Group, Energy Technology and Environmental Business Association and Nuclear Energy Institute.
