2021 ANNUAL REVIEW

ENGAGING WITH LAWMAKERS INSIDE THE BELTWAY

Being part of meaningful solutions to challenges facing our nation is what we do, and telling that story to our federal lawmakers is essential. While doing so may have looked a little different in 2021, industry representatives engaged with Biden administration officials and Members of Congress to discuss industry initiatives as well as common sense solutions for environmental, transportation and infrastructure challenges. Our annual ABA Fly-In was once again held virtually due to restrictions at the Capitol, but the local faces of our industry showed up nearly 200-strong for online meetings.
