Legislative Fly-In
ARA needs your involvement to strengthen ongoing advocacy efforts with your members of Congress to bring about necessary legislation and policies that benefit agricultural retailers, farmer customers and the entire ag industry.
Advocacy in Action
ARA held its annual Legislative Fly-In Feb. 7 in Washington, D.C. More than 80 ARA members and 130+ members of Congress and their staff met face-to-face to discuss the most pressing issues for ag retailers.
Read the full recap in this ARA blog post.
All ARA members are encouraged to participate, and registration is free.
Who Attends?
All ARA member representatives are invited to participate because ARA counts on their support and involvement to facilitate ongoing advocacy efforts with their members of Congress.
Future fly-ins will be communicated via email and posted to ARA's calendar of events.
