The 2010 Masonry Industry Legislative Conference will be held May 5-7, 2010 in Washington, D.C.

The 2010 Masonry Industry Legislative Conference has been condensed to highlight hill visits. The main focus of the program for 2010 will be getting our issues and our positions in front of key congressional figures and tell them our story as to how their votes impact our industry.

The Keelen Group will make an effort to make appointments with attendee members of Congress, but will also focus on arranging appointments with key swing vote representatives that need to hear our story. One of the most important things you can do in today's business environment is take some time away and let the folks know who are responsible for regulating, taxing and setting rules for business how it will impact not only our industry, but the economy as a whole.

The 2010 Masonry Industry Legislative Conference will be a great opportunity to express your concern and care for the actions of the few in D.C.
