ACA International is excited to announce the 2021 Washington Insights Virtual Fly-In, allowing members the opportunity to hear from members of Congress and learn about our advocacy mission this year.
As businesses, community lenders, hospitals, and other providers throughout the country continue to face unprecedented challenges as a result of COVID-19, the work of ACA members is more important than ever. A new Congress and new administration are in Washington, D.C., and it is critical that ACA continues to have a seat at the table working with our members to be a voice on key issues.
This event builds on our advocacy on issues such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s debt collection rule, COVID-19 response bills and packages, Telephone Consumer Protection Act reform, Operation Choke Point, and call blocking and labeling.
At this Virtual Fly-In, ACA will lead members through steps they can take to work with elected officials, introduce them to new members of Congress and leaders at federal agencies, and discuss what is happening on the ground in Washington, D.C. Join us for a day-long event focused on helping your businesses succeed through federal advocacy.
CEO Mark Neeb will kick off this highly anticipated event followed by a presentation from members on the importance of advocacy at the federal level.
Members and ACA staff will also provide insights on the intersection between changes at the state and federal level and the Women in Collections Resource Council will moderate a discussion with women leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Washington Insights Virtual Fly-In will conclude with a discussion on working with new leadership at federal agencies and at virtual happy hour with ACA’s Political Action Committee.
