AIF Councils and Coalitions allow members to take a leadership role in the public policy issues that affect their companies. They put together members who have a common interest with the experts of our lobby team to discuss the main important issues. They give members an opportunity to discuss their concerns with top government officials, provide input on the development of rules and regulations, analyze key legislation, and to plan strategy for passing or defeating legislation. Member input and ideas are then used to help drive policy to the AIF Board of Directors and build AIF’s agenda for each legislative session.
