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. 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.
We look forward to you joining us in Summer 2024.
Earlier this month, more than 40 snack industry leaders headed to Capitol Hill to participate in over 80 meetings with Members of Congress. SNAC members discussed priority issues with legislators, including protecting SNAP choice, addressing sodium reduction, tackling transportation issues and driver shortages, and prioritizing America’s workforce. SNAC’s Board of Directors and Government Affairs Committee also met as a part of the Legislative Summit.
