Like most farmers, it takes a pretty good “tug” to get me away from the nursery. Having gone before to an Impact Washington Summit, I know it’s worth my time and that one constituent truly CAN influence their legislator’s position with a single conversation.

Impact Washington was the most informative advocacy event that I have attended. Horticulture must remain diligent in our efforts to discuss the issues that affecting us with our legislators. It is important that they hear from us. They need to hear how the laws that they are passing in Washington impact our businesses. They need to hear our stories.

Impact Washington featured an outstanding line up of speakers all committed to preparing us for the Hill visits. The topics they covered made me feel like I had an insider view of exactly how key issues impacting our industry are handled. Our representatives may have a lot of their plates but they welcome the opportunity to hear us and learn how our businesses are impacted by government regulations.

The program was incredibly informative and provided a forum for those of us in the industry to share best practices as well as challenges. The topic specific information sessions on the first day were incredibly helpful in allowing us to have a focused conversation with legislators
