ACA Fall Meetings + Congressional Fly-In

ACA’s Fall Fly-In is an opportunity for members to convene and collaborate in telling the story of the coatings industry to promote policies important to us. Advocacy is an important effort that requires the engagement of every member, and you have the help and guidance of ACA’s talented Government Affairs staff to help you prepare for Hill Day.

Prior to the start of the meeting, this team will offer preparatory in-depth webinars to make a lasting impact with key members of Congress and their staff during Hill Day.

This is a great opportunity to engage in the issues affecting our industry and to ensure our voice is heard by our elected representatives.
