Toy Association Members Address Top Industry Issues During Annual Strategy Meeting

January 6, 2023 | More than 200 Toy Association members participated in the Association’s annual strategy meeting, which took place last month from December 6 to 8. The virtual meeting addressed priority state, federal, and international issues forecasted to impact the industry in 2023.

During the discussions, members shared their views and concerns related to chemical regulations, environmental sustainability, children’s online privacy, intellectual property protection, Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)/product safety topics, as well as international issues in numerous countries.

“Our annual strategy meeting continues to be one of the most important meetings we hold with member company representatives,” said Ed Desmond, executive vice president of global government & regulatory affairs at The Toy Association. “With participants from member companies both large and small, this year’s successful turnout allowed for robust discussions about the anticipated challenges and opportunities impacting the toy industry in 2023 and beyond.”

The Toy Association’s Global Government & Regulatory Affairs advocacy committees will begin holding conference calls in the coming weeks on action items identified during the strategy meeting.

Members are encouraged to add their voices to issues impacting their companies by joining one or more of The Toy Association’s advocacy committees covering Intellectual Property Protection, State Issues, Federal Issues, Children’s Online Privacy, Environmental Sustainability, Safety Standards and Technical Issues, and International Affairs.
