Lobby Day Exceeds Expectations

July 26 & 27, 2006

ACR held a fly-in event on July 26th and 27th in Washington, DC where charitable representatives meet with Senators and their offices to discuss the reform proposals that are on the table. The event was a tremendous success where 60 participants, who hailed from roughly two dozen states, came to DC and met with more than 40 different Senate offices.

This event was a great opportunity for the decision makers in Washington to see the faces of the charitable community and hear about the good work that the tax-exempt organizations provide in the states they represent. Participants from the fly-in, and those who were unable to attend, are encouraged to build on this positive momentum and reach out to other groups in their state.

Additional hosts of the fly-in included The American Council on Education, Americans for the Arts, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, and the National Committee on Planned Giving.
