WASHINGTON DC — The American Bakers Association (ABA), has announced its new partnership with American Society of Baking (ASB) and Retail Bakers of America (RBA) for the Bakers Fly-In and Policy Summit to be held Nov. 13-14 in Washington DC.
Leaders across the baking industry — including wholesale, retail and supplier organizations — will gather in Washington DC to meet with members of Congress, executive branch leaders and regulators at various agencies to advocate for policies impacting baking businesses.
“Advocacy is all about strength in numbers and bringing people together, which is exactly what this fly-in will do,” said Eric Dell, president and CEO of ABA. “ABA recognizes our unique role as the baking sector’s leader in our nation’s capital. We are excited to partner with ASB and RBA to tell the baking industry’s stories to lawmakers and regulators and illustrate how federal policies and regulations impact the baking industry. It will be very powerful and impactful.”
During the two-day event, attendees will have the opportunity to bring forth issues and perspectives from their businesses and promote policy solutions on behalf of all bakers, focusing on the critical areas of workforce, nutrition and supply chain.
