ISPA Newsletter to Track Legislation
January 30, 2009
The International Sleep Products Association, (ISPA) Alexandria, Va., has launched an e-newsletter, ISPA Advocacy Connection, to keep members informed of the latest legislative and regulatory developments affecting the mattress industry. The newsletter will provide a succinct review of pending legislative and regulatory proposals, information on newly enacted laws or regulations that affect manufacturers and suppliers, and political insight on what to expect next.
ISPA plans to distribute the e-newsletter at least monthly, with special editions issued as needed.
"With a new President and Congress, it is more important than ever for ISPA to have effective representation before, and communicate with, Congress and the Obama Administration on issues that affect the mattress industry," said ISPA Vice President of Government Relations and Policy, and Editor of the e-newsletter, Chris Hudgins, in a release. "The ISPA Advocacy Connection will keep members abreast of important policy issues that can impact their businesses, and will educate them on how to become an advocate for the industry."
From time to time, ISPA members may receive a requests for their grassroots support to influence lawmakers to take positions that support the industry. These alerts will link members to the ISPA Legislative Action Center Web site where they will find draft letters focused on specific issues that they can easily send to Congress and policymakers.
