The NFIB Fox Valley Area Action Council began held its first meeting in January of 2005. The purpose of the AAC meetings is to bring NFIB-member small business owners together to hear from lawmakers, policy experts, bureaucrats and each other.
In addition, AAC members receive very timely information from Springfield and Washington. This gives small business owners a chance to have their voice heard before the vote takes place rather than after it's too late. When the General Assembly is in session there are more emails coming from Springfield to keep us informed. When an email signals a vote which affects your small business or an issue important to you, it usually contains the pertinent contact information so you can make contact with the right lawmaker as quickly as possible.
The commitment involved is relatively small.
