INDUSTRY ADVOCACYLEGISLATIVE EDUCATION AND ACTION DAY (L.E.A.D.)
Every year (except for 2020), volunteers from all the PPAI affiliate associations send representatives to Capitol Hill to educate legislators from all 50 states on the most pressing issues facing the promotional products industry and small businesses in general. They were focused on protecting the promotional products industry and preserving the interests of small businesses by emphasizing the value of promotional products and discussing key issues such as independent contractors, advertising expenditures, tariffs and the global value chain.
Legislative Action Watch (L.A.W.) alerts inform PMANC members of state and national legislation that may impact the promotional products industry and our livelihoods. Through templates provided by Promotional Products Association International (PPAI) it’s easy to ask our elected officials to understand the effects of their actions on us, to persuade them to help us and to show our support when we benefit from their actions. |
