Please join your business colleagues from across the nation for two days of discussion, strategizing and advocacy in Washington, D.C., October 5 & 6.

The 2nd Annual ASBC National Meeting will include representatives from ASBC's partner organizations, business supporters, advisors and some prospective partner organizations.

The meeting's goals are to:
* Strengthen our organizational structure
* Build capacity to engage in various policy campaigns
* Refine our 2012 Campaigns and Issues Advocacy Agenda
* Raise our Profile on Capitol Hill, Regulatory Agencies and White House
* Ensure that Representatives in Congress know about ASBC and its partners views.

Day one will focus on setting ASBC's 2012 strategic outreach and policy agenda, including our legislative priorities and possible role in the 2012 elections. Day two will be largely dedicated to meetings with federal agencies, Congressional leaders and staff on Capitol Hill.
