TRSA members face a constant challenge: fighting for fair, balanced regulations and pro-business labor, tax, environmental and energy policies. All members and associates are welcome to engage in our Leadership/Legislative Conference consisting of meetings with congressional and regulatory leaders to exercise TRSA’s strength of our political force and participate in networking events.
Hill Day
The Leadership/Legislative Conference prepares you to “lobby” a member of Congress, updates you on federal issues important to TRSA and your business, and sends you to the Hill to make our industry heard.
Washington insiders advise on how best to inform and persuade authorities so you can speak out effectively on behalf of your company and industry. Federal officials bring you up to speed about new laws and advise on ways to establish stronger partnerships with their agencies. Power breakfasts and lunches take place in landmark locations on and around Capitol Hill where you hear presentations from members of Congress and highly respected legislative experts.
Leadership Conference
All TRSA committees meet at this Washington event as a means of facilitating these panels' projects and participation while engaging committee members in our advocacy with legislators. TRSA committee meetings cover new initiatives, committee member project assignments and discussion of operational and management issues. These working sessions lay the groundwork for TRSA advocacy, research and benchmarking, networking and information-sharing, and education and training activities to guide the industry into the future.
