Michael Singer, the new chairman of the U.S. Fashion Industry Association and an executive at Macy’s, plans to draw on his expertise to help expand the trade and lobbying group’s focus on sustainability and supply chain transparency.
Pressing Congress to pass the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact and expanding the association’s member training and education programs are also top priorities this year.
Singer, who is vice president of customs and social compliance for Macy’s Merchandising Group, has spent the past few years developing strategies on sustainability for the company and said in that aspect he brings “something a little different” to the table at USFIA.
