Biodiesel Leaders Gather in DC to Amplify Industry Voice

摘要

Biodiesel advocates met this summer in Washington,D.C.,as the National Biodiesel Board hosted its annual summer membership meeting June 10-12.This year's meeting focused on integral association business and critical federal policy initiatives,including the biodiesel tax incentive extension. “This annual meeting is beneficial for our members and is an excellent time for them to be in the Capitol,meeting with their legislators to strengthen the biodiesel message,”said Donnell Rehagen,NBB CEO.”With each conversation,NBB is able to continue to make strides on policy essential to our growing biodiesel industry.” Meeting with elected leaders is one of the key reasons NBB gathers in Washington,D.C.,each year.During the members’stay in D.C.,NBB organized more than 70 visits on Capitol Hill for members to meet with their representatives in Congress.These visits help the biodiesel industry create strong relationships with those fighting for America's advanced biofuel on the Hill and in moving the needle in terms of policy progress.
