The National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA), Washington, D.C., will be holding its 8th annual Natural Foods Day lobbying event on April 12, 2005 in Washington, D.C. Designed to broaden the natural products industry’s base of political support, Natural Foods Day provides a way for natural product advocates to participate in face to face meetings with their congressional leaders to discuss industry issues. With a new Congress in January, the natural products industry will face freshman congressional members who may not be familiar with the benefits natural products offer, particularly dietary supplements, in creating a healthier America. This year’s event will be critical in educating both new and returning legislators in anticipation or reintroduction of bills impacting the industry. Participation in Natural Foods Day is free and all congressional meetings are prearranged in advance for attendees by NNFA.
