Lawmakers in Washington can have a tremendous impact on your business. Hearing from employers in their home districts is one of the most powerful ways to influence these legislators. Join us for this annual program that brings the voice of foodservice distribution to Capitol Hill.
“Coming to Washington to meet with our elected representatives helps them understand how the laws they pass impact our companies. It is an important and economical investment of time in building relationships that may help your business for many years to come.”
Paul Saval, President, Saval Foodservice
The Most Important Ingredient in this Program is YOU!
- Educate legislators about foodservice distribution and the role you play as an employer in your community.
- Tell your lawmakers how actions they take on Capitol Hill affect your business.
- Meet your elected representatives and build relationships on a more personal basis.
Hearing from constituents is one of the most powerful ways to affect legislators. Our government relies on relationships as much as the foodservice industry. Through Capitol Hill visits during the IFDA Day in Washington, you can provide insights to elected representatives on how legislation and regulatory actions are affecting your company and the welfare of your community.
Help accomplish this important work! Come to Washington, D.C., and we will guide you. IFDA will arrange your Capitol Hill appointments and provide a briefing to prepare you for your meetings. While IFDA works day-to-day educating lawmakers on how government actions affect foodservice distributors, YOUR opinions matter even more as employers in your elected representative’s district. We urge you to seize this opportunity to build relationships with your lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
Our staff make sure that the time you spend in Washington is as fruitful as possible. To prepare you for your Hill visits, IFDA provides a legislative and regulatory briefing on issues that are priorities for the foodservice industry. IFDA also arranges your appointments and assists you throughout the process. Help your company! Take advantage of this important opportunity! Mark your calendar and plan on joining other industry leaders in representing the foodservice distribution industry in Washington this June.
Registration information will be made available in the near future.
Throughout the Year, Our Team Can Help Arrange Other Opportunities for Building Relationships with Your Elected Representatives
