What exactly is TRAA’s Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day?
TRAA’s Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day is the industry’s opportunity to come together and advocate on issues that impact all of us: large and small towing companies alike. The collective impact of towers from across the country coming together en masse cannot be beat or replicated by meeting in district.
What do I get out of it?
The owners and managers of towing and recovery businesses face a multitude of challenges every day ranging from local, to state, to federal. Each level of issue requires a different tactical approach. What we do during the Legislative Action Workshop & Hill Day is to collectively work towards solutions to nationwide problems from FMCSA regulations to insurance increases, to weights and measures. These universal issues that impact the entire industry.
Can I bring materials to handout to my members of Congress?
Yes, of course you can! We just ask that any materials you wish to distribute to members of Congress, staffers, or other attendees be reviewed and approved. This is to ensure that we don’t inadvertently share or distribute information that may be conflicting or controversial and hurt our collective efforts while in DC.
Can I take photographs or video to share my experience with friends, family, and colleagues back home on social media pages, text, email, etc.?
Of course, you can, and you should! Just be aware of two things. First, certain areas within the Capitol buildings will be restricted from the taking of photos or video. This is a safety issue that Capitol Hill police take seriously. Second, members of Congress and staffers actually live in DC. If we’re lucky enough to have members of Congress and/or staffers come to a dinner or social engagement with the group (which typically does happen at least once), please respect their right to privacy and just enjoy the experience as a quintessential DC one.
How do I book my room?
Simply return the completed registration form and your room at the host hotel will be booked for you. You’ll get a confirmation email directly from the hotel. Note, the nightly amenity fee is waived for our group.
What if I'm not staying at the host hotel?
Event attendees are welcome to stay at any Capitol Hill hotel.
What's the dress code?
If this is your first time attending, you might be wondering what to pack. Business attire (suit and tie for men and pantsuits, skirt suits, polished separates or business dresses for women) are recommended for Wednesday (Hill Day). There's a lot of walking around Senate and House office buildings on Hill Day, so wear comfortable shoes. Business casual is fine for Tuesday.
What is the cancellation policy?
Per the registration form, the registration fee is non-refundable once submitted. Hotel room reservations are subject to Kimpton’s own terms, policies, and conditions. Please note that you will be billed by TRAA for the cost of any cancellation or modification to your hotel reservation made any time after January 31st. By registering for this event, you accept these terms and conditions.
