GET AN INSIDER’S PERSPECTIVE ON KEY ISSUES AT 2009 LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE (05/27/2009)

Brit Hume, senior political analyst for FOX News Channel, and Congressman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), will provide ABC members with an insider’s view on politics and issues that affect the construction industry during the opening general session at ABC’s 2009 Legislative Conference, June 23-25 in Washington, D.C.

The following day, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will provide participants with updates on key political issues such as project labor agreements, green jobs and the Employee Free Choice Act, or card check legislation.

2009 Legislative Conference attendees also will have the opportunity to advance merit shop initiatives and voice their opinions on the issues by going on visits to congressional offices and federal agencies. In addition, the conference will offer a special education session, “How to Effectively Lobby the Representatives in Your Region,” which will provide tips and best practices for approaching regional legislators, identifying regional issues and analyzing regional representatives’ points of view.
