ALEXANDRIA, Va. – With a new Congress in D.C., it’s especially vital to make a personal connection with your legislators to make sure your business concerns are heard. That’s why attending the 2017 NACS Government Relations Conference March 6-8 in Washington, D.C., will be one of the most important meetings you’ll have this year.

Register today to join your industry peers; retailers, state association executives and industry suppliers to walk the halls of Congress and talk about the key issues facing the industry. “I found that attending the NACS Government Relations Conference allows me to represent our company and our industry, face to face with members of Congress. It’s building relationships and providing education that are critical to the ongoing success of our business and the industry. It truly is an opportunity to facilitate change, even if that change is sometimes slow to be recognized,” said past attendee Rich Spresser, president of Pester Marketing Company (Alta Convenience).

NACS will prep attendees with talking points and guidance on how to effectively host a meeting and tell the story on how proposed legislation and policies impact convenience retailing. Two timely are protecting hard-won debit reforms and the need to provide menu labeling flexibility.
