Will the new Congress be good or bad for the dietary supplement industry? Find out yourself at this year’s Natural Products Day on March 24 in Washington, DC. Hosted by the Natural Products Association, the event gives concerned stakeholders a chance to meet and exchange their views with legislators. With more than 65 first-time senators and representatives this year, it’s the perfect time to make a good first impression.
Natural Products Day begins with a morning briefing by government relations experts. Following afternoon appointments with legislators, attendees are invited to an evening reception at the new Capitol Visitor’s Center.
“Natural products day is a fun and effective way for industry members to establish and strengthen personal relationships with members of Congress,” says David Seckman, NPA executive director and CEO.
I agree. I attended Natural Products Day several years ago and can say it was well worth the visit, even if I did almost get knocked over by a legislator who was in a hurry to shake someone’s hand. All I can say is, when you see one of them running, get out of the way.
