Our legislative successes would not be possible without the incredible engagement of our members. This year, we called upon members to offer their expertise to the Legislature by testifying on issues including the VEDA forgivable loan program, liquor law changes, and the manufacturing tax exemption, just to name a few. This testimony was invaluable in providing legislators with the on-the-ground state of the industry needed to make important policy decisions. We also could not have achieved our outcomes without our members reaching out to their local legislators at critical moments, providing timely responses to our questions, advising, sharing feedback in our industry focus groups, and of course supporting our work financially.

Thank you!
