Natural Products Day (formerly Natural Foods Day) is an annual lobbying event designed to build the industry’s base of support through personal meetings with members of Congress. Put a face to public policy issues and tell your legislators how you stand on important legislation. There is no cost to attendees and all your meetings are prearranged for you. Last year, more than 200 participants representing all segments of the natural products industry rallied at the nation’s capital, where they met personally with their congressional leaders on important industry-impacting legislation. In 2008, the Natural Products Association will continue the momentum in rallying to protect and advocate the consumer’s right to choose safe and beneficial health care alternatives and your right to sell them.
