Registration for the Auto Care Association’s Fall 2023 Legislative Summit events is now open. The events will be held Sept. 20-22, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. For the second time, the Auto Care Association’s Legislative Summit will be held at the same location and in conjunction with the Fall Leadership Days event, the association said.
The Auto Care Legislative Summit is a fly-in event specifically focused on the issues impacting the independent aftermarket industry. The summit includes education on relevant policy issues, remarks from top policymakers and individual meetings with members of Congress and their staff on Capitol Hill. The Auto Care Association said its government affairs team equips all attendees with the schedules, resources and talking points for each meeting. Only the attendee’s presence and passion for the industry is needed.
The Auto Care Association’s Fall Leadership Days event is for the association’s top volunteers and engaged members to discuss industry issues and drive key initiatives, the association said. The event brings together the volunteer leaders of the association’s member communities and advisory committees to discuss community and industry trends and help steer the direction of the association’s initiatives and efforts. Non-committee members are permitted to attend these meetings, unless other specified.
“The efforts we’re seeing this summer to stop our industry’s momentum of securing our right to repair are only ramping up,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO of the Auto Care Association. “I hope to see faces from across our industry at the Legislative Summit this fall, where we will speak in one unified voice with members of Congress on the importance of supporting our industry by passing the REPAIR Act.”
Registration is required for both events. For further details, visit autocare.org/leadershipdays.
