A message from Chuck about advocacy:
As you know we still have a window to actively lobby and advocate for additional economic aid for the tradeshow industry. Talks are still continuing, and the bottom line is we need a stimulus package that will help the employees and small businesses in our industry remain operational in 2020. Our industry needs everyone to take a moment and reach out to their congressional leaders.
Here is a link to a recent webinar that walks you through how to lend your voice to the advocacy cause.
