WHAT DID YOU MISS?
Congressmen meet with UAC members
Thank you to Congressmen Doug Collins and Drew Ferguson for engaging with us to discuss COVID and workforce challenges facing the business community, workforce development, the H2-B visa program, Waters of the United States rule and other regulations, and more. We are fortunate to have them fighting for Georgia jobs and the economy on our behalf in DC. The video of the ZOOM meeting is online, in two parts (see links on next page). Collins and Ferguson’s comments and insight help UAC members understand how Washington, DC operates, and they expressed their appreciation for UAC member engagement – while in DC and back home in Georgia. Please check out these videos on the Urban Ag Council YouTube channel. We look forward to opportunities down the road when we can meet with them and other state leaders in person.

In part two, the discussion focuses on the H-2B visa program, labor challenges and Federal regulation (Waters of the United States rule) and how UAC members can be of service.
