Jane Moss brings years of experience and a strong background in business, which positions her to address challenges in the manufacturing sector effectively. By favoring leadership diversity, the state is indicating a progressive approach towards encouraging varied perspectives in industry decision-making.
Senate Resolution 37 recognizes Jane Moss, the Chief Financial Officer of Viking Range, LLC, as the incoming Chairwoman of the Board for the Mississippi Manufacturers Association (MMA). Having served in this role since October 2022, Moss is the second woman to hold this position in the association's history, which highlights the advancing role of women in leadership within the manufacturing sector. The resolution emphasizes her contributions to the industry and the honor of being selected by her peers to lead the MMA.
The sentiment surrounding SR37 is overwhelmingly positive, as it reflects a collective recognition of a significant achievement for women in business and manufacturing.

However, no specific opposition or notable points of contention were recorded in the discussions around the resolution.
