Save The Date—Tuesday, September 22 NASBP Legislative Fly-In Day, “Bond Producers Take the Hill”
NASBP has undertaken great efforts to increase its visibility on Capitol Hill, to advocate its federal government relations agenda, and to remind elected officials and their staff about the important role surety bonds play in our nation’s economy.To that end, NASBP will continue to build its momentum and presence on the Hill on Tuesday, September 22, when it conducts an NASBP Legislative Fly-In Day, titled “Bond Producers Take the Hill.” The event will culminate with an NASBP hosted reception on Capitol Hill later that afternoon at one of the House Office Buildings. The tentative schedule for that day includes the following.
The morning will consist of a policy briefing session held at the Grand Hyatt Washington, in Washington, D.C. NASBP members and staff will make a presentation on the most pressing legislative issues that impact the surety industry and will review material members may find helpful when meeting with their Congressional Delegation later that day.
The morning program also will include an update from key policymakers who will discuss important and timely issues, such as the Small Business Administration (SBA) Surety Bond Guarantee Program, and who will review legislation that would establish a mentorship and grant assistance program designed to help minority, veteran, and women-owned small businesses gain access to surety credit so they may compete for construction contracting opportunities.
That afternoon, those attending “Bond Producers Take the Hill” can meet with their respective Congressional Delegation to discuss issues that impact the surety industry. Finally, the day concludes with an NASBP hosted reception on Capitol Hill. Our invited list will include key members of Congress and their staff.
The Legislative Fly-In Day is being organized for all NASBP members throughout the U.S. The NASBP Legislative Fly-In Day is being held in conjunction with and immediately following the NASBP September 20-21 Regions 8, 9, 10 & 11 Meeting.
Additional information will be forthcoming soon. Until then, please remember to save the date-Tuesday, September 22!
