VTCA Lobby Day

Objective
The VTCA Lobby Day aims to advocate for the interests of our industry and promote policies that support safety and sustainability. By engaging with policymakers and their staff, we strive to influence legislation and regulations that impact our members positively.  2025 will be a short, fast paced Session with Delegates up for re-election in November – they want to hear from businesses like yours.

Note: Please adhere to all lobbying regulations and guidelines during the lobby day activities. Dress professionally and respectfully and maintain a constructive and positive demeanor during interactions with policymakers and their staff.
