Each spring chemical distributors and their supply chain partners from around the country meet with their elected officials in Washington, DC to educate Members of Congress and push for important policy goals. Meeting face-to-face with legislators is the most effective way to get your message heard on Capitol Hill.
Don't worry if it is your first time joining us on Capitol Hill. Before we head to the hill, we will review our unified message and the legislation for which we will advocate. We will also teach you about lobbying and how to share your story in a way that leaves a notable impact on Congressional representatives. Your experiences are important—we need your voice.
The 2019 NACD Washington Fly-In will be held on May 1-2, 2019 at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City in Arlington, VA.
To prepare you for your meetings on the Hill, we have assembled a one-page leave-behind document as well as additional background information on our issues. These documents can be found here on our website or on the VoterVoice app under ‘Blog.’
