2024 Legislative Fly-In


ASA's Legislative Fly-in is the PVF-PHCP industry's annual meeting in Washington that puts business leaders in touch with policy makers. It is a unique opportunity to put before our elected officials the issues that impact not just our core industry, but what also impacts small business and manufacturing.

With the 2024 Election Cycle in full swing, this the perfect time to talk with lawmakers about our legislative agenda, invite them to member facilities, and discuss how the PHCP/PVF industry makes an impact with their constituents. 

What To Expect: A unique opportunity to be the voice of the industry in Washington, DC through in-person  meetings with decision makers on Capitol Hill. At the same time, it provides an incredible networking opportunity with industry leaders to discuss solutions to legislative and regulatory hurdles.
