AMPP Team Ramps Up Advocacy Efforts
Advocacy efforts are essential for AMPP because they enable the organization to protect and promote the interests of its industry, influence policies and regulations, educate stakeholders, support research and innovation, and address industry challenges. These efforts ultimately contribute to the industry's growth, safety, and sustainability.
The Government Relations Team is working on several actions to better inform members of ongoing advocacy efforts and is creating a plan to engage members in active advocacy activities. Other updates from the team include:
Government Affairs/Advocacy Webpage: The Government Affairs webpage is being updated for quick access to legislative information and engagement opportunities. A new advocacy website and toolkit will boost local advocacy efforts globally, making engagement effectively easier.
Congress Recess: The U.S. Congress is on recess until after Labor Day. Upon return, Congress will focus on avoiding a projected government shutdown that could occur at the end of September.
