Before leading the National Association of Manufacturers, Timmons built a career in government and public affairs.

Timmons also guided the creation of the NAM Legal Center, the acquisition of the Manufacturing Leadership Council, and the integration of the Innovation Research Interchange. Under his leadership, the association has become a resource on the international stage, advocating for manufacturers in global trade negotiations and policy enforcement.
Timmons is committed to workforce development in manufacturing. He serves as chairman of the board of The Manufacturing Institute, the workforce and education partner of the National Association of Manufacturers, and was appointed to the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
