NFIB Advocacy Academy and DC Fly-In 2017

Join NFIB for our first ever Advocacy Academy and DC Fly-In July 26 and 27, 2017.

A new Congress has been elected to represent you and your business, and there is no better time than now to learn how you can enhance your influence with elected officials.

The half-day training will focus on:

You should attend if you are interested in:

• Becoming an activist
• Enhancing your understanding of the legislative and political process
• Significantly increasing your influence with lawmakers and the media
• Advocating on behalf of your business
• Helping NFIB fight for small business
