LET ACA KNOW YOU'RE COMING (For coordinating info for Congressional meetings)
ACA members: Are you looking for an easy way to get updated on the Capitol Hill process and meet with your Congressional delegations?
The Angel Capital Association is one of several national associations of the "Innovation Coalition," joining forces to educate our new Congress about the importance of small businesses and innovation to our nation's economy. The program is a great way for ACA angel investors to meet with Members of Congress, to learn from other leaders that support innovation, and to share with Congress their viewpoints on how angel investing helps contribute to innovation and our growing economy.
The day begins with breakfast on Capitol Hill at the Reserve Officers Association near the Capitol, where participants will hear from several Members of Congress. The coalition will brief lawmakers and their staff on the innovation process and why it is so important to creating a thriving economy.
