NPMA Announces Speakers, Sessions for Legislative Day 2015

Since 1988, pest management professionals making the annual trek to Washington, DC, have directly impacted federal public policy.  And, in a recent study, it's these in-person visits that have the most impact on a Senator or Representative who is undecided on an issue.  In fact, 97% of the 450 House and Senate staffers surveyed indicated that nothing makes a bigger impression on your legislators than a visit from YOU.
 
NPMA's visits to Capitol Hill during Legislative Day this March will provide a tremendous opportunity to make an impression on your Members of Congress.  More than ever, you need to establish a line of communication and develop a relationship with your Representative, Senators, and their staff.  No single voice carries more weight with your elected officials than your own.  This is your opportunity to make a difference.
