UMAPP is Working for You at the Government Level |
|
UMAPP's Government Relations Council was part of the L.E.A.D. (Legislative Education and Action Day) Conference in Washingtion, D.C. on Wednesday, May 15, 2019. UMAPP is actively involved in monitoring and moving forward issues that are important to our industry. To this end, our Government Relations Council not only advocates on behalf of our members, but goes out and visits our elected officials where they work. Whether that is in St. Paul or Washington DC, we are there and we are vocal! Representatives from UMAPP attend an industry-sponsored Legislative, Education & Action Day (L.E.A.D.) in Washington DC. every spring. After exhaustive work by the committee, UMAPP representatives secure face-to-face meetings with officials and their representatives. Using a promotional product, a memorable message was delivered. UMAPP's Government Relations Council is always at work for you, our members, on promoting the industry as a whole and securing important legislation |
