Dear David:
In April, the NGCOA and other industry partners will converge on Capitol Hill for the 10th Annual National Golf Day. This is your opportunity to join us in showing key legislators the importance of golf in communities across the nation. We need you - the owners and operators - to help us increase our visibility and influence.
This year, the NGCOA is hosting an Advocacy Forum prior to the National Golf Day festivities. During this forum, you will have the opportunity to hear from members of the Trump Administration, representing both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Closing this event, you will receive an update on WE ARE GOLF from the lobbying firm, Forbes-Tate.
National Golf Day has successfully increased awareness of the golf industry on Capitol Hill, in the White House and among Washington, D.C., federal agencies. As we prepare for the 10th anniversary of this signature event, we are seeking to enhance both our visibility and influence. Our goal is to engage the most influential members of Congress during our visit and to further increase national recognition of this day, and to do this - we need you.
To register to attend the golf industry's most high-profile government affairs event, click here. We ask you to register as soon as possible for National Golf Day in order for ample time to secure Hill appointments for all participants.
