On June 16, industry members and PPAI staff began two days of virtual meetings with legislators in Washington, D.C. and their staffs during the Association’s 2021 Legislative Education and Action Day (L.E.A.D.). The meetings were an opportunity for participants to inform and educate legislators about legislation and issues affecting the promotional products industry. PPAI also provided information and tools for industry professionals not participating in L.E.A.D. to contact their members of Congress on the issues as well.

It is so easy for us all to show up and express to our representatives how important these issues are to our industry with all necessary information supplied by PPAI. We only need to fill out our information and PPAI’s letters are forwarded to our representatives under our name. Hopefully, we are all doing this.
