Inspired by Nick Fronduto’s and Charles Ingrum’s efforts to get their lawmakers to visit their operations? (see co-sponsor story.) You, too can host a lawmaker.
“Hosting a member of Congress at your business is one of the best ways to make your concerns resonate,” said Shawn McBurney, SAF’s lobbyist and senior director of government relations. “They appreciate the opportunity to learn more about a constituent’s business and meet your employees — especially if they’re up for re-election — and it also helps lawmakers gain exposure in their community and provides your business with media exposure as well.”
Congressional visits to floral shops typically last 30 to 45 minutes and are easy to arrange. SAF staff can help you connect with lawmakers and prep for their visits. For information, contact Shawn McBurney, smcburney@safnow.org.
