Security Clearance Needed for Day on Capitol Hill

March 18th, 2010

In order to obtain security clearance for all Day on Capitol Hill participants, we need to know that you’re planning to attend. This year’s event is scheduled for April 27 – 28. Please register today to attend this important event.

All appointments with elected representatives will be made in advance by our Director of Government Relations, John Chwat, and his staff. Before the appointments, attendees will be given specific instructions and briefed on topics to address with their legislators and how to make their presentation effective. John will also obtain security clearances for all attendees and will put together a packet of information on the issues.

These face-to-face meetings are a major part of our government relations efforts to garner support from our legislative representatives on issues that are critical to our industry and public safety. Issues such as ESA’s federal background check legislation, legislative approaches to the Department of Energy’s and the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent regulatory changes, opposition to the Employee Free Choice Act and support for ESA’s balanced approach for life safety.

Congressional speakers, networking and social events will round out the two-day visit to Congress. Plan to attend this important event and support our 2010 legislative agenda.

Our host hotel will again be the lovely St. Gregory Hotel & Suites located in the heart of Washington, D.C. We have contracted a discounted room rate of $240, plus taxes per night.

To make your hotel reservation, call (202) 530-3600 or toll free (800) 829-5034. You must mention that you are with the Electronic Security Association to get the discounted rate. Only a limited number of rooms are available so reservations are on a first come, first served basis until March 28.

Additionally, those flying to DC (airports BWI/DCA/IAD) between April 24 and May 1 can receive a 5 percent discount on airfare from American Airlines when flights are booked on-line at www.AA.com. The promotion code you will need to give is 8940AY.
