Effective Advocacy in a Virtual World: FAST Act Re-authorization and Beyond
Thursday, Sept. 10, 2020
With the latest highway reauthorization bill, the FAST Act, set to expire at the end of the month FP2‘s Pavement Preservation Advocacy Webinars — held in conjunction with the Pavement Preservation & Recycling Alliance (PPRA) — will bring you up-to-date on the latest activity and give you insight into the best way to continue to advocate on behalf of pavement preservation. While advocacy has changed during the pandemic, learn how you can effectively educate your elected representatives about the value and importance of pavement preservation.
The panel discussion will include Laura Perrotta, president of the Highway Users Alliance, who will provide an update on congressional actions surrounding the FAST Act, as well as some tips on how to be effective when lobbying virtually. Scott Bergkamp, president of FP2 Inc. and of Bergkamp, Inc. — who recently hosted a plant tour illustrating first-hand why pavement preservation is important to Kansas — will discuss tips for hosting policy-makers. And Lauren Orndorff, legislative aide to Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), will discuss effective ways to educate staffers virtually.
The Damn Roads Still Need Fixing
April 23, 2020
A stream of the April 23, 2020, live webinar, The Damn Roads Still Need Fixing — sponsored by FP2 Inc., the Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturers Association (AEMA), Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA), and International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) as the Pavement Preservation & Recycling Alliance (PPRA) — now is available for viewing. This important presentation provides background for expressing road needs and is essential viewing during this year’s surface transportation reauthorization battle, especially in the context of a potential major infrastructure funding bill. See the one-hour presentation.
To follow up, FP2 has posted three documents that will support your outreach to elected officials to set up job site or manufacturing plant visits, or local or Washington D.C. office visits. We also provide Talking Points for communicating with legislators. Visit our Talking Points web page, download the files, and let us know if you reach out to your legislators … we can help!
