Capitol Hill Meeting
NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meeting is a two-day event – for NACBA Members only - early in a congressional session that consists of a half day of training, followed by a full day of meetings, arranged by NACBA, with members of Congress and their staff. It is a unique opportunity to learn about how to participate in the legislative process and to maximize your own ability to directly affect future legislation. NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meeting is an opportunity for our Members to be the voice in Washington for those millions of Americans who are feeling the crush of the economic downturn. We bear witness every day to the damage to families facing lost jobs, overwhelming medical bills, and the absence of meaningful relief from the wave of home foreclosures sweeping across the country. NACBA members can use this Capitol Hill Meeting to tell their stories and to help elected officials understand how proposed legislative changes in bankruptcy laws will impact the folks back home.
Henry Sommer, NACBA President Emeritus, Philadelphia, PA

“NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meetings have been the most rewarding hands-on educational experiences of my career. For nine years, with NACBA, I’ve been privileged to be exposed to the inner workings of the Capitol. The camaraderie with other NACBA members and staff, and the realization that we can and do make a difference – make NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meeting an event not to be missed.”
