During ABC’s 2009 Legislative Conference, June 23-25 in Washington D.C., ABC members will have the chance to get updates from Republican leaders in Congress on the potential outcome of a range of issues.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) will speak on key issues such as project labor agreements, green jobs and the Employee Free Choice Act, or card check legislation. They will provide ABC members with an inside view of pending legislation that affects the construction industry.
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.
ABC members who register by May 27 can take advantage of the early-bird discount.
