#SEMA/GTE: TIA Plans 2015 Federal Lobby Day

The Tire Industry Association announced it will host a Federal Lobby Day Feb. 5, 2015. TIA members from across the nation are invited to Washington, D.C., to meet and speak directly with members of Congress about important issues that are impacting the tire industry.

“TIA’s Federal Lobby Day brings our members together with leaders of government for face-to-face conversations about the issues that are important to our industry,” said TIA executive vice president Roy Littlefield. “The highway bill is one of the top issues we’re facing, so it will be the primary focus of our efforts at this event. It is more important than ever that our members take action and join us on February 5.”

The day will include meetings with members of Congress and staff, a luncheon with congressional leaders and a cocktail reception on Capitol Hill.

TIA is working collaboratively with a number of automotive and highway-user industry groups including the American Highway Users Alliance, WMDA/CAR Service Station and Automotive Repair Association, and Service Station Dealers of America and Allied Trades (SSDA) on the Lobby Day.

For more information and to register, contact Roy Littlefield IV, TIA government affairs manager, at [email protected] or 301-430-7280 ext. 137.
