Â鶹Èë¿Ú

At this year’s Â鶹Èë¿Ú Annual Convention, Government Affairs Director Stan Kolbe and Denise Murphy McGraw, Special Assistant for Government and Political Affairs, led an engaging and informative presentation on Â鶹Èë¿Ú’s advocacy priorities and the growing importance of grassroots engagement at all levels of government.

Kolbe provided an update on federal policy issues that directly impact Â鶹Èë¿Ú contractors—including infrastructure investment, workforce development, tax policy, and energy efficiency initiatives. He emphasized how Â鶹Èë¿Ú’s presence in Washington, D.C. ensures contractors’ interests are represented in congressional deliberations and regulatory discussions.

McGraw’s remarks focused on the expanding role of state and local chapters in shaping policy outcomes. She highlighted how Â鶹Èë¿Ú members across the country are strengthening their legislative engagement, building relationships with policymakers, and advancing initiatives tailored to their regions. McGraw underscored the success of chapters that have organized local advocacy programs and encouraged others to use Â鶹Èë¿Ú resources to do the same.
