ASA 2019 Legislative Fly-In

Team: Back by popular demand, I'm pleased to invite you and your members to ASA's Legislative Fly In to Washington, D.C. on Tuesday-Wednesday, October 29 -30, 2019.   This will be an awesome opportunity to advocate on behalf of ASA members and their legislative priorities with members of Congress and congressional staff.  Realizing ASA has not completed a legislative fly in recent years, if possible, please let me know ASAP how many potential attendees you may garner from your chapter for this fly in?  Candidly, I'm just trying to anticipate the total number of fly in attendees.

On Tuesday, October 29th, we will plan to have a legislative, lobbying preparation session in the afternoon followed by a welcoming dinner.  On Wednesday, October 30th, we will walk the halls of Congress starting at 9:30 A.M. until roughly 5:00 P.M. so set your Fitbit's accordingly, you will definitely get plenty of steps in that day! 

Please share the registration link below with the members of your ASA chapter and registration is now open through July 31, 2019.  Once registration is complete, we'll email you final details on the fly in. 

I look forward to seeing you in October and much more to follow after your registration is complete. 

In the interim, I wish you a happy, healthy, safe, and enjoyable 4th of July!

Take Care, 

Michael T. Oscar
