Description
ACA has made great progress with Congress and regulators on everything from the accredited investor definition to tax benefits. Recently five Senators sponsored the HALOS Act to exclude “demo days” from general solicitation requirements. But the best results come when investors and entrepreneurs meet with their Members of Congress when they are in their home districts. Consider meeting with your legislators soon. ACA’s easy toolkit gives you everything you need to meet – from the Congressional calendar, to how to schedule meetings, to talking points and documents to provide. The speakers walk through the toolkit and answer your questions to make it even easier.
Speakers:
- Mike Eckert, ACA Public Policy Chair and NO/LA Angel Network
- Linda Lorraine Smith, ACA Public Policy Vice Chair and Sierra Angels
- Chris McCannell, Director in APCO Worldwide (ACA’s government affairs representative)
