Legislative Summit

SNAC Members Engage and Educate Washington, DC on Industry Priorities

The Legislative Summit is SNAC International’s annual opportunity for members to visit Washington to meet with Members of Congress to discuss the industry’s key issues and how legislative policy affects their business. Congress needs to hear your first-hand experiences and understand your challenges. Together we can influence legislative and regulatory measures that help your business and employees prosper.

SNAC facilitates meetings with Senators and Representatives, and all first-time attendees are accompanied by a member of the SNAC staff. SNAC also provides thorough briefings in advance to ensure attendees are prepared to discuss the industry’s most pressing issues.

2024 Legislative Summit Recap

Earlier this month, over 50 snack industry leaders visited Capitol Hill and met with over 70 congressional offices to advocate priority issues with legislators, including protecting SNAP choice, addressing sodium reduction, tackling transportation issues and driver shortages, and improving recycling infrastructure.
 
SNAC members and industry partners also networked informally with lawmakers and Capitol Hill staff during the annual SNAC Attack reception on Tuesday evening.
