The Solar Energy Industries Association invites you to join us in Washington, DC on June 20th as a participant in SEIA’s Southeast States Federal Lobby Day.
The power-packed federal lobby day on Capitol Hill is focused on putting you in the room with lawmakers representing you in Congress – Senators and Representatives from the Southeast states including: Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
To make positive solar legislation happen, we must educate Members of Congress and their staff about solar’s role in energy, the economy, jobs, tax, trade issues and more. This important work directly helps the industry and your company’s bottom line.
