NAMA Fly-Out: August 5 - November 3, 2020

This year, NAMA is bringing Washington to you.

Connecting with legislators is the key to building and maintaining a strong relationship between industry and policy makers. Meet with your elected official without the additional cost of airfare, hotel, and time away from your business.

Starting the week of August 5th, and all the way up to election day in November, NAMA will coordinate meetings with your Member of Congress in the communities you serve. Fly-outs will provide the unique opportunity for smaller, more intimate meetings with your Congressman or Congresswoman. Wherever possible, NAMA staff will come to you, and join in the discussions and interactions with elected officials.
