AWMA’s Day on the Hill
AWMA’s 2007 Day on the Hill will be remembered for its expanded Day One program – which included the new White House briefing -- and for the full schedule and remarkable series of meetings with legislators and their aides on Day Two. "Thank you to you and your team for putting together such a well organized and executed event! We look forward to the next "Day on the Hill!!!" says Liz LaMarca of Liberty U.S.A., a member of this year’s Pennsylvania delegation.
"We had another great program this year," said AWMA President Scott Ramminger. "We had some tough issues to address and I’m confident that we got our messages across. It’s important that your members of Congress know where our industry stands and where we need their help."
"The time to build your relationship with these public officials is well before you need to call on them," stressed AWMA Chairman Jody Bunce, Eby-Brown Company.
On Thursday, May 17, 2007, AWMA members fanned out across Capitol Hill to meet with elected officials and key staffers representing Alabama, California, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Don’t miss this opportunity to meet with your elected representatives in Congress to promote our industry’s issues with those directly responsible for making the laws affecting your business.
