Though IBA is active politically through lobbying and PAC support, IBA’s most effective advocacy takes place at the grassroots level, when bankers meet face-to-face with lawmakers to express industry views.

Introduction to lobbying and grassroots advocacy
Review of issues facing the industry
Meetings with House and Senate banking committee leaders and other elected officials

A chance to watch the legislative process in action
