State-Specific Briefings Offered By NCA

Washington, DC — To better prepare members for the Congressional visits during the Washington Forum, the NCA is hosting state-specific conference calls.

The calls will discuss state strategies and issues, in addition to offering members a chance to have any questions answered, the NCA says.

On September 12, NCA members from Pennsylvania can call in at 2 p.m., followed by Illinois at 3 p.m. and California at 5 p.m. New Jersey members will have a call at 9 a.m. on September 13, with a call for New York members at 9:45 a.m., Kentucky at 10:30 a.m. and Ohio at 11:15 a.m. On September 14 at 1 p.m. members from any state can call in.

The association has also put together individual company profiles, which spotlight the products made and business history, for all Washington Forum attendees. Drafts of the profiles will be sent out for approval starting the week of September 17.

More information and details on the conference call number, which is for NCA members only, can be received by contacting Kelsey Freeman, NCA coordinator of public policy, at kelsey.freeman@candyusa.com.
