USIFI members are invited to take part in annual Lobby Days, held each year in Washington DC during the early part of the year. This year twenty five people from seventeen USIFI companies visited almost 50 offices during their March 2 Hill visits.
Two important issues were emphasized during the 2010 Lobby Days visit:
- Berry Amendment - tent components; compliance; expansion
- Fair Trade Means Jobs
Briefing papers (leave-behinds) are available for your study here.
