The NBFAA Day on Capitol Hill event will be a targeted, informative and worthwhile two days.

NBFAA members roamed the halls of Congress, rubbing elbows with the nation’s most powerful group of people, all the while advocating issues important to them, their businesses and the industry. NBFAA’s first Day on Capitol Hill, held May 1 and 2, gave them first hand experience in legislative affairs.

“I thought it was an awesome opportunity to interact with the congressmen and their staffs,” said Kevin McGraw, associate counsel for Protection One Inc. “This was my first time to participate in an NBFAA function. I was impressed by the camaraderie amongst all the attendees and how, despite being competitors, everyone was so willing to come together and work for the good of the industry.”

More than 40 NBFAA members, including association board members and state leaders from across the United States, joined the Government Relations team during the two-day event. In addition to the visits to the Capitol Hill offices, members met with Congressmen Jim Saxton (R-NJ) and Michael Arcuri (D-NY) at evening events on Tuesday night, May 1.
