Congressional Visits & Advocacy Activities

General Information

AHRI members of all sizes are encouraged to join meetings arranged by AHRI with the offices of key members of Congress. Advocating for your company’s interests and building relationships with your elected officials is crucial to any successful government relations strategy.

AHRI staff and contract lobbyists possess decades of Congressional and government affairs experience. We are ready to make your visits constructive and stress-free as we stress our industry’s legislative and regulatory priorities with decision-makers who can have an enormous impact on your company and your customers.

Transportation to Capitol Hill will be provided for those who register for the visits. Once registered, AHRI Government Affairs staff will contact you to coordinate the specific congressional offices of interest and confirm your schedule. Transportation to Capitol Hill will depart at 9:30 AM.

For more information or questions about the AHRI-coordinated congressional visits, please contact Makenzie Horrigan at mhorrigan@ahrinet.org.

This event, which will feature members of Congress and congressional staff, is not to be missed!
