2018 Big ‘I’ Legislative Conference: Top Issues This Year

By: Katie Butler

The Big “I” Government Affairs team is busy preparing for the 2018 Legislative Conference. Its numerous tasks include composing briefing materials with the latest information from Congress to the association’s members and working closely with state delegations and congressional offices to assist in scheduling hundreds of meetings.

In a one-page summary, the government affairs staff outlines the key topics that agents will take to Capitol Hill during the annual Big “I” pilgrimage on April 19.

Coordinating and tracking hundreds of meetings with congressional offices is a daunting task, but it’s proven effective. Share details of any appointments that have already been scheduled with Nathan Riedel. If possible, schedule Hill meetings no earlier than 9:30 a.m. to accommodate the Legislative Breakfast on Thursday, April 19.
