2022 FIA Lobby Day

2022 FIA Lobby Day
2022 FIA Lobby Day
February 2-3, 2022
Live Virtual Meetings




Make plans to join your forging peers at FIA's 19th Annual Lobby Day on February 2-3, 2022. Lobby Day 2022 will now be held as live virtual meetings via Zoom organized by FIA's lobby firm, Mehlman Castagnetti Rosen & Thomas. The firm will be scheduling Zoom meetings with key members of the U.S. House and Senate. This partnership allows FIA to expand its' reach on Capitol Hill immensely.

Lobby Day provides an opportunity for you to discuss key industry issues that directly impact your business with your congressional leaders in Washington, D.C. Key topics for discussion include fair trade, workforce development and infrastructure. Given the challenges that COVID-19 has brought to many of our members, it is even more important to engage with lawmakers and remind them of the key issues that impact the forging industry.
