UAFA will host its first Congressional Hill Day for members on September 19th and 20th in Washington, DC. Congressional Hill Days are a valuable opportunity for members to engage directly with representatives and their staff, build relationships, and influence legislation by communicating critical needs in the aerial firefighting industry. This meeting is also timely, as representatives will be discussing the FY 2024 appropriations. UAFA members will also visit the Western Congressional Caucus and meet with House Natural Resource Committee staff.
