Government Affairs Update from NAA 

Grassroots advocacy is powerful.  It's the power to speak your mind to your lawmakers on industry issues - and have them listen because you're their constituent.  It's the power to make sure they know how these issues affect you - because it's your business and your livelihood.  Your opinion is important, regardless of your previous level of involvement.  NAA wants to understand your interest in grassroots activities in order to grow the number of advocates and build grassroots movements, which will better influence the public policy process at the federal and state levels. 

Please take a moment to answer some quick questions about where you are and where you want to be with grassroots advocacy.  Start the survey here.
