Annual Legislative Activities
ASFPM annual policy agenda is focused around the following broad categories. We work with federal agencies, legislators and coalitions or partner groups as well and members and chapters to keep on top of these critical issues. Our goal is to share the collective experience of the Association as decisions are being made and policy is being shaped.
