AmericanHort Announces 2021 Impact Washington Summit
June 30, 2021 AmericanHort has announced the 2021 Impact Washington Summit, Sept. 20-22, in Washington, D.C., as industry leaders return to the nation’s capital to hear from dynamic speakers about key issues while educating Congress on our challenges and priorities.
The 2021 Summit will feature a program of subject matter experts, Congressional champions for the industry, and meetings with lawmakers to discuss important issues impacting the green industry and participants’ own businesses.
Bob Worsley, former Republican State Senator from Arizona, will deliver keynote remarks on the challenges of the current political climate and how it affects efforts for immigration reform.
“It is exciting to have everyone back in Washington advocating for key industry issues with our nation’s elected officials face to face,” says Tal Coley, Director of Government Affairs. “Educating lawmakers on our industry and the issues that affect our businesses has never been more important than it is now after 2020. We look forward to welcoming our key industry stakeholders to Washington in September.”
Worsley served in the Arizona Senate from 2012 until 2019, where he advocated on issues such as immigration, technology, and energy. Worsley’s entrepreneurial enterprises span three decades, beginning in 1989 with the founding of SkyMall, which he later sold to Rupert Murdoch 13 years later. He also founded the start-up, ZenniHomes, which builds state-of-the-art micro-homes of the future.
Other expert briefing attendees include Lynn Jacquez, Managing Partner and Principal of JPH Law and CJ Lake LLC; Brian Kuehl, Principal of K·Coe Isom; and Laurie Flanagan, Executive Vice President of DC Legislative and Regulatory Services. Additional participants will be announced as the event draws closer.
