NACS Day on the Hill

NACS Day on the Hill helps convenience retailers just like you share their story with elected officials to show that convenience matters. Join us in March to advocate for your business, and ultimately, all c-stores across the United States. Your participation and support are the key to maintaining a strong voice in Washington to protect our industry.

NACS: Your Advocacy Partner.

NACS prepares you with the necessary guidance and resources, like videos, webinars, and briefing materials, before visiting Capitol Hill. The informational General Session that takes place prior to your meetings will help you understand the issues and provides an opportunity to network with industry peers. Our goal is to help you become an effective advocate, not only on your Hill visits but also in your community.

The NACS team:

• Schedules your Congressional meetings and pairs you with other convenience retailers and experienced advocates;
• Prepares you with pre-reads, on site briefing materials and training on how to participate in a successful congressional meeting;
• Provides you with information to share with your elected officials; and
• Equips you with knowledge and skills you can apply immediately back home.

Join the Conversation. Shape the Future of Convenience.

NACS Day on the Hill spotlights the key issues that our industry needs to address. It provides an opportunity to understand how these issues can your business operations and the legislative developments surrounding them.

Valuable interactions with industry stakeholders offer a common ground to talk about regulatory and legislative challenges and share similar concerns. Together, you can strengthen the collective resilience of our industry.

One of the most important aspects of this conference is the opportunity to educate members of Congress about our industry. Your voice matters, and by sharing voicing your perspectives and your story, you can enhance their understanding of the issues they support—and fight—on your behalf.
