KEYNOTE SPEAKERS TO ADDRESS CRITICAL ISSUES AT LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE (06/10/2009)

ABC members are invited to join hundreds of their construction colleagues in Washington, D.C. to get the latest updates on critical issues affecting the construction industry during ABC’s 2009 Legislative Conference, June 23-25.

In addition to networking, the conference will feature keynote speakers Brit Hume, senior political analyst for FOX News Channel, and Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-Calif.) during Wednesday’s legislative update breakfast. Hume will discuss the current political landscape and how the changes with the new administration may affect the outcome of critical issues for contractors.

During Thursday's general session, attendees will get an insider’s perspective from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), on topics such as project labor agreements, green jobs and the Employee Free Choice Act, or card check legislation.

Throughout the conference, participants will have the opportunity to advance merit shop initiatives during visits to Capitol Hill. The conference will also offer a special education session, “How to Effectively Lobby the Representatives in Your Region,” which will provide tips and best practices for approaching regional legislators, identifying regional issues and analyzing regional representatives’ points of view.
