NFIB officers elected

YOUNGSTOWN

The National Federation of Independent Business, the largest small business association in the country, announced the re-election of Claudia Kovach as the chairwoman of the group’s Youngstown Area Action Council and the election of John Kroner as vice chairman.

Kovach of City Machine Technologies Inc. and Kroner of The Review Newspapers have been longtime NFIB members. The council has quarterly meetings that inform members on topics such as tax, workers’ compensation and unemployment compensation reform as well as issues that make a difference in entrepreneurs’ ability to own, operate and grow businesses.

The meetings also offer opportunities to meet with elected officials at the state and federal levels to share opinions and concerns.
