WASHINGTON — A record number of distributors, wholesalers, and manufacturer’s representatives from across the U.S. took their issues and concerns directly to Capitol Hill during the eighth annual HARDI Congressional Fly-In, held May 24-25 in Washington, D.C. The two-day affair included a legislative briefing, guest presentations from several members of Congress, networking events, and the opportunity for participants to meet with legislators from their districts.
“There are more than 100 people here — a record number,” said Jon Melchi, vice president, government affairs and business development, HARDI. “It really tells a good story when we’re there together pitching the same thing.”
