Recap Of NWPCA's 2024 Congressional Fly-In

n mid-June, NWPCA's Congressional Fly-In in Washington,
DC, brought together industry leaders and policymakers to
discuss legislative priorities, advocate for sustainable practices,
and foster networking opportunities. Nearly 60 members
attended and engaged directly with lawmakers and their staff.
Participants also enjoyed a break to watch a friendly
Congressional baseball game, with proceeds benefiting the
Boys and Girls Club of America. e event was a great mix
of policy discussions, social activities, and networking.
anks to the efforts of the NWPCA team, our outside
lobbyists from Lot Sixteen, and the support from PalletPAC,
we successfully met with over a dozen Members of
Congress. Ten Members, including the House Natural
Resources Chairs and the House Agriculture Committees,
attended our two PalletPAC receptions. During Hill
meetings, groups engaged with an additional eight House
and Senate Members and 36 Hill offices. To learn more
