Back in June, more than two dozen SBCA members traveled to Capitol Hill to meet with lawmakers for the 2025 SBCA Legislative Fly-in. This effort helped begin rebuilding relationships, provide insights from this industry, and position SBCA as a valuable resource on industry issues. Now, with Congress in their annual recess for August, legislators have returned to their home districts, creating an ideal opportunity to continue that momentum at the local level.
Whether or not you participated in the Legislative Fly-in, this is a great time to invite your elected representatives to tour your facility. It’s a powerful way to highlight your contributions to the community, the economy, and the broader construction industry.
Local connections lay the groundwork for national impact. Advocacy matters at every level.
