Each September, NIRI holds a Legislative and Advocacy Fly-In in Washington, DC. NIRI convenes members to meet with U.S. House and Senate members and staff to raise IR professionals’ regulatory concerns and to share their views on critical legislative issues for public companies.
The Fly-In program includes:
Exclusive briefing sessions on key activities in Congress impacting the industry, new regulations, and implementation plans, and NIRI’s legislative priorities
Interactive training on advocacy, communicating your “ask”, and building relationships with your elected leaders
Meetings with Members of Congress or their staff
Networking with your NIRI peers from across the country
Tips on continuing valuable relationships with elected officials once you return home
Who should attend?
This program has limited-capacity and is open to NIRI IR practitioner members (corporate and counselors) who are interested in advocating for the profession, strengthening leadership skills, and influencing how policy is crafted on Capitol Hill.
I had a great time on the Hill with members of NIRI, advocating for the modernization of legislation that impacts our day-to-day work as investor relations professionals. It was such a great learning experience on the legislative process and how we can influence change!
