NASBP Legislative Fly-in–“Bond Producers Take the Hill”
 
By now NASBP members and affiliates should have received information inviting them to register for the NASBP Fly-in to be held on Tuesday, September 22. The NASBP has organized the Fly-in to begin with a morning briefing and orientation program. That afternoon is reserved for NASBP members and affiliates to visit with their congressional representatives to discuss issues that impact the surety industry. The day will culminate with an NASBP hosted reception on Capitol Hill later that evening in the Rayburn House Office Building room B-338. Register now and plan to participate in this important NASBP event to help advance NASBP issues and educate members of Congress about the surety product.

NASBP has created a web page devoted entirely to the Fly-in that includes information about making your hotel reservations, contacting your members of Congress, and scheduling your Capitol Hill appointments. To access the Fly-in page, please click here. NASBP will continue to populate this web page with updates and relevant material up until the day of the Fly-in. Included on this page will be the materials and issue briefs NASBP members can use and leave behind when they visit their members of Congress.

Since the surety industry is one that is not well-understood by lawmakers, NASBP must make every effort to maintain a presence before their congressional representatives in Washington, DC. Please encourage your NASBP colleagues to attend.

Advocacy is often recognized as playing a vital role, if not the most important role, in a professional trade association as such advocacy efforts can shape the future destiny of an industry. Participate in the NASBP Fly-in. Now is the time for your elected officials to recognize the passion and dedication you have for the surety industry. NASBP hopes to see you in Washington on September 22!
