Reps. Kelly, Wittman to Speak at ASAE’s Legislative Fly-in

The fly-in will be in March

New speakers have been announced for the American Society of Association Executives' (ASAE) 2024 Congressional Fly-in, occurring March 5-6, 2024, in Washington, D.C. This is the members-only legislative action event dedicated to promoting the vital economic and societal role filled by associations.

U.S. Representative Rob Wittman (VA-01) will join ASAE’s Fly-in to discuss his legislation, the Freedom to Invest in Tomorrow’s Workforce Act. Representative Mike Kelly (PA-16) will be honored at an ASAE members-only reception the evening of March 5. Kyle Perel, legislative assistant, House Tax Policy, Majority, will also join the education program to speak about critical workforce policy.

At this year’s fly-in, attendees can expect to:

• Hear from legislators and Congressional staff
• Meet with and inform Congressional staff about how associations fortify America’s economy
• Help grow support for policies that promote workforce and economic development
• Learn principles in association policy and tips to build successful advocacy programs, and more!

This annual event continues to grow and now provides 4.57 CAE credit hours. One additional CAE credit hour is available for joining the optional "First Timers Session: Advocacy 101" before lunch on March 5. This optional session will provide a more intimate setting for advocacy beginners and anyone who wants to sharpen their lobbying skills. Attendees will gain insight on the basics of a Congressional meeting, how to connect with their state group and how to effectively advocate in Congress.

Space is limited (to approximately 150 attendees) so we encourage you to register as soon as possible. The cost is $299 to register. Registration is limited to ASAE members. Please select this link to learn more.
