Make Your Voice Heard on Capitol Hill!
NTMA/PMA Fourth Annual Legislative Conference
May 8-9, 2012
Washington, D.C
One Voice needs your voice! Make plans to attend the fourth-annual NTMA/PMA One Voice Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C., May 8-9, 2012.
With the Bush tax cuts set to expire at the end of the year, tax issues will be front and center. It is incredibly important for us to weigh in on tax reform as the action Congress takes could last a decade or more and impact our ability to compete globally. Congress also will address health care, workforce development and labor issues in 2012—all important issues to manufacturers. Because of the significance of these issues, extra emphasis is being placed on Capitol Hill visits this year, allowing more time to discuss the issues that matter most to your business with those who hold power in Washington.
The program kicks off on Tuesday, May 8 with lunch and a political insider’s analysis of what to expect in the 2012 elections, followed by a briefing from One Voice lobbyists on the latest developments related to key legislation. We’ll then head to Capitol Hill for a few hours of meetings before enjoying a networking reception that evening. The entire day on Wednesday, May 9 will be spent on Capitol Hill.
Finally, as an added benefit, a pre-conference webinar is being planned for first-time attendees plus any others who would like a refresher on what to expect during the congressional visits.
