Let's Get Surety #124 Advocating for Surety: Federal Legislative Fly-In
In this episode of Let's Get Surety®, we are joined by NASBP's Director, Government Relations (GR) Larry LeClair, NASBP's GR Committee Chair, Alan Starks of Christensen Group Insurance, and GR Committee Vice Chair, Matt Cocco of Smith Brothers Insurance to discuss the Federal Legislative Fly-In, which is co-hosted by NASBP and SFAA. The Legislative Fly-In offers opportunities for surety professionals, as voting constituents, to discuss the importance of the surety product with their elected officials and/or their staff. These interactions not only boost understanding of the surety product but also demonstrate the industry's crucial role in the economy and job creation. We also discuss the many benefits of attending the Fly-In beyond advocating for the surety industry, such as great networking with other surety colleagues, educational programming, and even opportunities for sightseeing! Find out more about the upcoming Federal Legislative Fly-In and register to attend!
