“This is a crucial time to educate new members of Congress and ensure that harmful legislation does not gain a foothold in the 113^th Congress,” states NPA executive director and CEO John Shaw. “NPA anticipates many legislative and regulatory challenges for our industry in 2013. This advocacy day lets us bring our thoughts and concerns directly to policymakers.”
