The Ohio AgriBusiness Association (OABA) joined forces with more than 2,000 association executives and industry partners – including the Agricultural Retailers Association and the National Grain and Feed Association – on behalf of The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) by signing a letter to Congress opposing the amendments included in the “Digital Accountability and Transparency Act” (H.R. 2146) in the House, and the “21st Century Postal Service Act” (S. 1789) in the Senate.
If enacted, these proposed amendments would severely limit federal employee attendance at meetings and conferences. The letter re-iterates the importance of the dialog between government and the private sector and how it is essential to policymaking that facilitates economic growth and job creation. The letter emphasizes that limiting these interactions would limit education and the exchange of information with private industries.
