The National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) Legislative Summit is the perfect event to show state policymakers how their actions and legislation impact your business, and as an ReMA member you can register for the full conference for over 15 percent off or join us for the ISRI-sponsored exhibit hall luncheon on Wednesday, August 5 for free!

Many of the more than 2,000 legislators and staff who attend the Summit think nothing more about recycling other than the little collection bin that “magically” empties itself and makes them feel good for filling it up. Where the material goes after the bin no one knows, just as they don’t know where end of life vehicles, tires, plastics, and other valuable commodities go…unless you tell them.

This will be the industry’s third year sponsoring the Exhibit Hall Lunch and we're planning to make it an even bigger success than last year in Minneapolis. ReMA members and Summit attendees alike were wowed by how the industry has transformed the historically drab luncheon into an interactive opportunity to see and learn about the industry. ReMA will have commodity displays featuring recycling equipment and pre and post recycled materials, but this all hinges on ReMA members being available to explain how recycling operates in the legislators' districts. Members can also guide attendees through the displays before and after the luncheon, as the luncheon hall will be open throughout the Summit and located right next to registration.

Wondering whether the legislators who make the laws that directly impact your company understand the recycling industry? Help make sure they do. If you're interested in helping with the luncheon itself you can receive a free pass to the event by contacting Danielle Waterfield and Justin Short. For those who want the full Summit experience, ReMA members can still register at the NCSL Foundation rate of $1,125; just be sure to select "Foundation Sponsor" and "Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries" from the drop down list.
