A First-Time Congressional Action Days Attendee Shares His Insights
Last month’s Society of American Florists Congressional Action Days allowed floral professionals from across the country to connect with lawmakers about the industry’s need for agricultural labor reform, access to duty-free product, and more funds for cutting-edge floriculture research.
Sahin Nahim, the founder of New Bloom Solutions (a Florida-based provider of floriculture industry solutions), was a first-time attendee of Congressional Action Days, and shared his insights on the New Bloom Solutions blog page:
“This was my first experience with SAF CAD. I was not sure what I was in store for. What was awaiting me was an experience I will remember for a long time. SAF (Society of American Florists) is a national U.S. trade association that represents the floral industry in the US. All are members, from retailers, wholesalers, and manufacturers to growers, educators, and students. SAF CAD aims to provide marketing, government advocacy, industry information, and best practices for members of the U.S. floral industry.
It was SAF’s 42nd Congressional Action Day, and I had interviewed various representatives from all over the world; everyone was kind enough to answer all my questions and provide behind-the-scenes information about the industry and the problems they are facing, and the actions being taken.
