How can YOU impact the future of the industry?

ELFA member participation in the political process is critical so that policymakers will hear the united voice for our industry and understand how current policy issues will affect the equipment leasing and finance industry.

This ONE DAY program includes:

  • Advocacy training for ELFA members
  • Briefing on the latest public policy development
  • Meeting on Capitol Hill and with select federal agencies
  • LeasePAC Event*

Capitol Hill Meeting Assignments

ELFA creates individualized schedules with our target list of elected officials in the House and Senate for each attendee. Congressional offices are alerted to those scheduled to visit the office and expect to see those listed.

Registered attendees will be assigned meetings based on geography to the extent possible. If you have a relationship with a specific member of Congress, please contact Matthew Hart (mhart@elfaonline.org) to discuss.

Attendees will be able to view their individual schedules by logging onto the ELFA Capitol Connections website after May 15. Do not plan travel based on the online schedule! Due to the nature of scheduling with congressional offices, attendees will receive a final listing of meeting assignments onsite at the meeting registration.

Special Note

Attendees should plan to arrive in the afternoon on May 21. Travel home should not be scheduled until May 23. If you have specific circumstances, please contact Matthew Hart to discuss.

Each attendees’ schedule is tailored to give the maximum impact for ELFA’s advocacy efforts. Since each schedule is individualized, it is critical that any changes in attendance are communicated to Matthew Hart prior to arrival.

Registered attendees will be given prior notice of policy updates and provided with printed materials when they pick up their registration materials on-site.

Who Should Attend

Presidents, CEOs, and senior staff of member companies, including those whose job responsibilities include federal government liaison activities.
