Face-to-Face Advocacy
On June 5, 2019, IBWA members met with members of Congress during the Annual Hill Day fly-in. Almost 50 IBWA members participated in this annual event and met with more than 60 Capitol Hill offices. IBWA also held five state fly-ins in 2019, including three in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and one each in Sacramento, California, and Albany, New York. While in-person meetings in Washington, DC, or state capitals are always important, plant tours also play a critical role in helping to ensure good policy outcomes. Policymakers can see firsthand how legislative proposals may impact the industry and your companies when they are in your plant. In 2019, IBWA members hosted multiple plant tours with members of Congress, state legislators, and local city and county leaders. If you are interested in hosting a tour of your plant, please let IBWA know. We will be glad to help schedule it with your legislators.
