NAFTZ – Make Your Voice Heard in Washington!
NAFTZ is once again holding virtual fly-in sessions with key Congressional members, and we invite you to participate!
SAVE THE DATE!
Virtual fly-ins are being scheduled during the month of August (August 5th – 22nd, 2024) to accommodate summer vacation schedules and the shifting Congressional calendar. There will be plenty of opportunities to participate, even if you’ve never been in a Congressional meeting before.
These web conference meetings are designed to explain the FTZ program to legislators and make them understand that we need their help to preserve the benefits and explore opportunities to make US FTZs even more competitive.
Unsure of what to say on these calls? That’s OK! NAFTZ staff and advisors will prepare you for the calls, and do much of the talking. We need you there to show your representatives that these topics matter to the success of their districts. Your presence matters, and it only takes a couple of hours out of your day.
Join us to learn how you can advocate for FTZs!
As we get closer to August, look for announcements to register for individual meetings. You can sign up for as many as you want. And, in the meantime, if you have any questions about NAFTZ advocacy you can reach Melissa Irmen, Director of Advocacy & Strategic Relations at mirmen@naftz.org.
