TRSA members face a constant challenge: fighting for fair, balanced regulations and pro-business labor and tax policies. All members and associates are welcome to engage in our Legislative & Leadership Conference consisting of meetings with congressional and regulatory leaders to exercise TRSA’s strength of our political force and participate in networking events. TRSA committees gather at the Legislative & Leadership Conference as well to lay the groundwork for TRSA activities to guide the industry into the future.
